      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Using OpenSCAP with the CIS Server Level 1 profile (xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_cis_server_l1) to scan RHEL 8  the following CIS rule from the official CIS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Benchmark v3.0.0 appears to be missing from the latest SCAP Security Guide content provided by the scap-security-guide package:

       

      4.4.3.3.2 Ensure password history is enforced for the root user

       

      This rule is part of the CIS Level 1 benchmark but does not appear in /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml, and there is no corresponding result in the OSCAP compliance report when scanning with the xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_cis_server_l1  profile.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

       

      latest version of scap-security-guide on RHEL 8.10

      Always

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Install the latest scap-security-guide on RHEL 8:
      2. Verify it's content.
      3. Run a scan against CIS Level 1
      4. Review the generated report — there is no entry corresponding to CIS rule 4.4.3.3.2.

      Expected results

      The SCAP content should include a rule that validates password history enforcement for the root user as per CIS Benchmark 4.4.3.3.2.
