    Under some circumstances, it may be useful to monitor who/what is reading privilege/permission/role information. Therefore, it must be possible to configure auditing to do this. Database Management...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are added.

    Rule Medium Severity
  • The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must generate audit records when categories of information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) are modified.

    Changes in categories of information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected. For detailed information on categorizing information, refer...
