Assessment Title
Rule Text
RHEL 10 must enforce mode "0000" for "/etc/shadow" to prevent unauthorized access.
Description
Discussion Text
The "/etc/shadow" file contains the list of local system accounts and stores password hashes. Protection of this file is critical for system security. Failure to give ownership of this file to "root" provides the designated owner with access to sensitive information, which could weaken the system security posture.
