Security Report: 3/13/2024

Issue: SSH Configuration Review  
Warning Level: 3

The following non-default settings were found in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:

1. PermitRootLogin is set to 'yes', allowing root login over SSH. This could pose a security risk if not properly controlled and monitored.

2. PasswordAuthentication is set to 'no', disabling password-based SSH authentication and requiring key-based authentication. This is generally a more secure configuration.

3. X11Forwarding is enabled, which could potentially allow unauthorized X11 connections if not properly restricted.

Recommendation: Review the SSH configuration settings and ensure they align with security best practices and organizational policies. Consider disabling root login over SSH or implementing additional controls, such as limiting access to specific IP addresses or using public-key authentication. Evaluate the necessity of X11 forwarding and disable it if not required.
