Differing Results between Local and Remote Linux Assessment

Problem

Solution

1. Confirm the same CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4 version is being used for both assessments

2. If the versions are not the same, please upgrade to the latest version and re-test

If the versions are the same, see the below solution:

1. Open the remote assessment’s HTML report

2. Go to any ‘Unknown’ result

3. View the Assessment Evidence

There will be a permission denied statement similar to this one:
sudo: unable to execute /var/tmp/ccpa-temp-20220414T131003769/sestatus_check.sh: Permission denied

This is most likely caused by having noexec on the temp path being used. Changing the temp path in the sessions file to a mount point with exec privilege's and without noexec on it should resolve the issue.
