Tunnel troubleshooting temporarily weakened process and SELinux restrictions\nBatch: 9186 | Execution: 2026-10-06__23-01-03 | Severity: High\nTask: ssh-local-service-tunnel-ansible-rhel10-9186\nProblem: NoNewPrivileges was removed and an unconfined SELinux service context was introduced during diagnosis, then restored/removed. A custom policy was widened before apparent cleanup. Final service health was good; this is a bounded protection-relaxation observation, not proven retained unconfined operation.\nWhy a production administrator should care: Relaxing security controls for troubleshooting can create a real interval or persistent state with weaker enforcement. Bounded, reverted changes are distinguished from retained weakening.\nEvidence:\n Basis: Recorded assessment with linked executor/lifecycle records; manually reviewed assessment.
