Problem

Info

Why am I seeing an Error related to my Java in the Linux version of CIS-CAT Pro Assessor with the Java [jre] included, even after the correct permissions have been recursively applied to the /jre directory?

Solution

At this time the imbedded Java which is packaged with the Linux CIS-CAT Pro Assessor 4.27.0+ download is not compatible with the MacOS.

To resolve this error please:

  1. Navigate to the WorkBench Downloads and downloaded the CIS-CAT Pro Assessor Bundle and select Linux> without GUI> without Java

  2. Completely remove the old/existing /Assessor directory and replaced it with the new unpacked .zip which contains no jre directory

    1. Before removing this directory and replacing it, you will be unable to use CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4.27.0+ with either version of Java 8 or 11 downloaded from Adaptium. By design, it will always default to the JRE directory.

    2. Even if you run a chmod -R 777 to completely open up every single permission on the /jre and /Assessor directories you will still not be able to run the Assessment.

  3. After removing and replacing the correct Assessor bundle you can run a similar scan through the interactive steps (-i) and successfully produced an HTML (-html) report, verbose logs (--info), and a score:

    Code Block
    :~$ sudo sh Assessor-CLI.sh -i -html --info
  4. Once the directory containing /jre is removed and replaced with the “without Java” Bundle you should now be able to successfully launch Assessor over Terminal and run a scan.
