The default password hashing algorithm in Debian 12 is yescrypt, which apparently is a better to withstand offline password cracking compared to SHA512.

Currently I get the following message:

99.5.4.5.2_acc_shadow_sha [ KO ] User root has a password that is not SHA512 hashed.

Obviously, this is technically correct. However, considering this is apparently a better hashing algorithm, would it be possible to include this in the checks?

I can also understand this may be something that needs to be reported to CIS itself perhaps, thus this discussion.

Hello, and thank you for pointing it out.
You are right, yescrypt must be included as a valid hashing password.

Adding this in todo
