Ensure sudo group has only necessary members
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Developers and implementers can increase the assurance in security functions by employing well-defined security policy models; structured, disciplined, and rigorous hardware and software development techniques; and sound system/security engineering principles. Implementation may include isolation of memory space and libraries. The Ubuntu operating system restricts access to security functions through the use of access control mechanisms and by implementing least privilege capabilities.
warning alert: Warning
Due to the risk of removing user rights, automated remediation is
not available for this configuration check.
Rationale
Any users assigned to the sudo group would be granted administrator access to the system.
