Emergency administrator accounts are privileged accounts which are established in response to crisis situations where the need for rapid account activation is required. Therefore, emergency account activation may bypass normal account authorization processes. If these accounts are automatically disabled, system maintenance during emergencies may not be possible, thus adversely affecting system availability.
If an emergency account has been created on the workstation, check the expiration settings using the following command, replacing username with the correct value: sudo pwpolicy -u username get-effective-policy | tr ' ' '\n' | grep 'usingHardExpirationDate\|maxMinutesUntilDisabled If anything is returned, this is a finding.
To remove all pwpolicy settings for the emergency account, run the following command, replacing username with the correct value: sudo dscl . -delete /Users/username PasswordPolicyOptions
