Title
The operating system must not allow logins for users with blank passwords. (Cat I impact)
Discussion
If the password field is blank and the system does not enforce a policy that passwords are required, it could allow login without proper authentication of a user.
Check Content
Determine if the system is enforcing a policy that passwords are required. # grep ^PASSREQ /etc/default/login If the command does not return: PASSREQ=YES this is a finding.
Fix Text
The root role is required. Modify the /etc/default/login file. # pfedit /etc/default/login Insert the line: PASSREQ=YES
