RHEL 10 must assign a primary group to all interactive users.

STIG ID: RHEL-10-600150  |  SRG: SRG-OS-000104-GPOS-00051 |  Severity: medium (CAT II)  |  CCI: CCI-000764 |  Vulnerability Id: V-281174

Vulnerability Discussion

If a user is assigned the group identifier (GID) of a group that does not exist on the system, and a group with the GID is subsequently created, the user may have unintended rights to any files associated with the group.

Check

Verify RHEL 10 interactive users have a valid GID.

Check that the interactive users have a valid GID with the following command:

$ sudo pwck -r

If pwck reports "no group" for any interactive user, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure RHEL 10 so that all GIDs referenced in "/etc/passwd" are defined in "/etc/group".

Edit the file "/etc/passwd" and ensure that every user's GID is a valid GID.
