title: 'Ensure sudo only includes the default configuration directory'
description: |-
Administrators can configure authorized <tt>sudo</tt> users via drop-in files, and it is possible to include
other directories and configuration files from the file currently being parsed.
Make sure that <tt>/etc/sudoers</tt> only includes drop-in configuration files from <tt>/etc/sudoers.d</tt>,
or that no drop-in file is included.
Either the <tt>/etc/sudoers</tt> should contain only one <tt>#includedir</tt> directive pointing to
<tt>/etc/sudoers.d</tt>, and no file in <tt>/etc/sudoers.d/</tt> should include other files or directories;
Or the <tt>/etc/sudoers</tt> should not contain any <tt>#include</tt>,
<tt>@include</tt>, <tt>#includedir</tt> or <tt>@includedir</tt> directives.
Note that the '#' character doesn't denote a comment in the configuration file.
rationale: |-
Some <tt>sudo</tt> configurtion options allow users to run programs without re-authenticating.
Use of these configuration options makes it easier for one compromised accound to be used to
compromise other accounts.

ocil_clause: "the /etc/sudoers doesn't include /etc/sudores.d or includes other directories?"
ocil: |-
To determine whether <tt>sudo</tt> command includes configuration files from the appropriate directory,
run the following command:
<pre>$ sudo grep -rP '^[#@]include(dir)?' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d</pre>
If only the line <tt>/etc/sudoers:#includedir /etc/sudoers.d</tt> is returned, then the drop-in include configuration is set correctly.
Any other line returned is a finding.
