title: 'Ensure Only Users Logged In To Real tty Can Execute Sudo - sudo use_pty'
description: |-
The sudo <tt>use_pty</tt> tag, when specified, will only execute sudo
commands from users logged in to a real tty.
This should be enabled by making sure that the <tt>use_pty</tt> tag exists in
<tt>/etc/sudoers</tt> configuration file or any sudo configuration snippets
in <tt>/etc/sudoers.d/</tt>.
rationale: |-
Requiring that sudo commands be run in a pseudo-terminal can prevent an attacker from retaining
access to the user's terminal after the main program has finished executing.

ocil: |-
To determine if <tt>use_pty</tt> has been configured for sudo, run the following command:
<pre>$ sudo grep -ri "^[\s]*Defaults.*\buse_pty\b.*" /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/</pre>
The command should return a matching output.
