| Description |
|---|
| Sudo must be configured to log privilege escalation. Without logging privilege escalation, it is difficult to identify attempted attacks because no audit trail is available for forensic investigation. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify the macOS system is configured to log privilege escalation with the following command: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/sudo -V | /usr/bin/grep -c "Log when a command is allowed by sudoers" If the result is not "1", this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure the macOS system to log privilege escalation with the following command: /usr/bin/find /etc/sudoers* -type f -exec sed -i '' '/Defaults \!log_allowed/d' '{}' \; /bin/echo "Defaults log_allowed" >> /etc/sudoers.d/mscp |
