Discussion

Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised.

Check Content

Review the container platform configuration to determine if it enforces password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used. 

If the container platform does not enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the container platform to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used.
