delete-files

This module accepts input. Both the cfbs CLI and Mission Portal (3.21 and beyond) allow you to specify the files you want deleted. Here is an example of what it looks like in Mission Portal:

delete_files:delete_files.files

Array of dicts having path and why keys.

• path must be a regular expression matching the fully qualified path to a file
• why should explain why the file being absent is important

   {
     "variables": {
       "delete_files:delete_files.files": {
         "comment": "Files and their required permissions",
         "value": [
           {
             "why": "The file lists remote hosts and users that are trusted by the local system when using the rshd daemon and can allow unauthenticated access to the system. Reccomended by CIS  CCE-84145-2.",
             "path": "/etc/hosts.equiv"
           },
           {
             "why": "The file lists remote hosts and users that are trusted by the local system when using the rshd daemon and can allow unauthenticated access to the system. Reccomended by CIS  CCE-84145-2.",
             "path": "/home/.*/.rhosts"
           },
           {
             "why": "The file lists remote hosts and users that are trusted by the local system when using the rshd daemon and can allow unauthenticated access to the system. Reccomended by CIS  CCE-84145-2.",
             "path": "/root/.rhosts"
           }
         ]
       }
     }
   }

Notes:

• Running with class delete_files:DEBUG or default:DEBUG define results in DEBUG reports from policy.
• A list or array of files is also supported.
• An array with filenames and dicts having path and why keys is supported.
• Absence of why key is supported.
• A simple string is supported (but as indicated by DEBUG reports, likely a mis-configuration).
• Directories are not deleted.
