Ensure Authentication Required for Single User Mode
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Single user mode is used for recovery when the system detects an issue during boot or by manual selection from the bootloader.
Rationale
Requiring authentication in single user mode prevents an unauthorized user from rebooting the system into single user to gain root privileges without credentials.
