Bug Fixes

  • Corrected: Fixed an issue with control 4.1.6 in the CIS Ubuntu 18.04 compliance profile.

  • Exam: Control 4.1.12 in the CIS CentOS 7 compliance profile now correctly tests auditd entries.
  • Boundaries Set: The compliance profile for CIS OSX 10.13 v1.0.0 no longer attempts to pull Chef InSpec resource code from GitHub.
  • Massive Edit: Compliance export fields with more than 32,000 characters in a cell will be truncated to avoid Excel reading errors.
