Description
The sudo timestamp_timeout tag sets the amount of time sudo password prompt waits.
The default timestamp_timeout value is 5 minutes.
The timestamp_timeout should be configured by making sure that the
timestamp_timeout tag exists in
/etc/sudoers configuration file or any sudo configuration snippets
in /etc/sudoers.d/.
If the value is set to an integer less than 0, the user’s time stamp will not expire
and the user will not have to re-authenticate for privileged actions until the user’s session is terminated.
Rationale
Without re-authentication, 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 that the user re-authenticate.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}\n' 'sudo' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed; then

find /etc/sudoers.d/ -type f -exec sed -Ei "/^[[:blank:]]*Defaults.*timestamp_timeout[[:blank:]]*=.*/d" {} \;
fi
if /usr/sbin/visudo -qcf /etc/sudoers; then
cp /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.bak
if ! grep -P '^[\s]*Defaults.*timestamp_timeout[\s]*=[\s]*[-]?\w+.*$' /etc/sudoers; then
# sudoers file doesn't define Option timestamp_timeout
echo "Defaults timestamp_timeout=${var_sudo_timestamp_timeout}" >> /etc/sudoers

# sudoers file defines Option timestamp_timeout, remediate wrong values if present
if grep -qP "^[\s]*Defaults\s.*\btimestamp_timeout[\s]*=[\s]*(?!${var_sudo_timestamp_timeout}\b)[-]?\w+\b.*$" /etc/sudoers; then

# Check validity of sudoers and cleanup bak
