Issues With "hidden=true" Attribute in OpenSCAP in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • If a Group has attribute hidden="true" set, an unintended action occurs.
  • For example, add hidden="true" to and then perform an XCCDF resolve. The result is all the Group's children are marked as hidden="false", and a duplicate hidden="true" is added to the Group node.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • openscap-0.8.0-2.el6
