Ensure All User Initialization Files Have Mode 0740 Or Less Permissive

Description

Set the mode of the user initialization files to 0740 with the following command:

$ sudo chmod 0740 /home/USER/.INIT_FILE

Rationale

Local initialization files are used to configure the user’s shell environment upon logon. Malicious modification of these files could compromise accounts upon logon.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

var_user_initialization_files_regex='^\.[\w\- ]+$'


readarray -t interactive_users < <(awk -F: '$3>=1000   {print $1}' /etc/passwd)
readarray -t interactive_users_home < <(awk -F: '$3>=1000   {print $6}' /etc/passwd)
readarray -t interactive_users_shell < <(awk -F: '$3>=1000   {print $7}' /etc/passwd)

USERS_IGNORED_REGEX='nobody|nfsnobody'

for (( i=0; i<"${#interactive_users[@]}"; i++ )); do
    if ! grep -qP "$USERS_IGNORED_REGEX" <<< "${interactive_users[$i]}" && \
        [ "${interactive_users_shell[$i]}" != "/sbin/nologin" ]; then
        
        readarray -t init_files < <(find "${interactive_users_home[$i]}" -maxdepth 1 \
            -exec basename {} \; | grep -P "$var_user_initialization_files_regex")
        for file in "${init_files[@]}"; do
            chmod u-s,g-wxs,o= "${interactive_users_home[$i]}/$file"
        done
    fi
done

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
