Vulnerability Discussion

Without reauthentication, users may access resources or perform tasks for which they do not have authorization.

When operating systems provide the capability to escalate a functional capability, it is critical the user reauthenticate.

Check

Verify the operating system requires users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the operating system to require users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation.
