Oracle MySQL 8.0 Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
Database contents must be protected from unauthorized and unintended information transfer by enforcement of a data-transfer policy.
Applications, including DBMSs, must prevent unauthorized and unintended information transfer via shared system resources. Data used for the development and testing of applications often involves ...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must maintain the authenticity of communications sessions by guarding against man-in-the-middle attacks that guess at Session ID values.
One class of man-in-the-middle, or session hijacking, attack involves the adversary guessing at valid session identifiers based on patterns in identifiers already known. The preferred technique fo...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must check the validity of all data inputs except those specifically identified by the organization.
Invalid user input occurs when a user inserts data or characters into an application's data entry fields and the application is unprepared to process that data. This results in unanticipated applic...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must protect its audit features from unauthorized access.
Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Depending upon the log format and application, system and application log tools may ...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 software installation account must be restricted to authorized users.
When dealing with change control issues, it must be noted any changes to the hardware, software, and/or firmware components of the information system and/or application can have significant effects...Rule Medium Severity -
The role(s)/group(s) used to modify database structure (including but not necessarily limited to tables, indexes, storage, etc.) and logic modules (stored procedures, functions, triggers, links to software external to the MySQL Database Server 8.0, etc.) must be restricted to authorized users.
If the DBMS were to allow any user to make changes to database structure or logic, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of ...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must prohibit user installation of logic modules (stored procedures, functions, triggers, views, etc.) without explicit privileged status.
Allowing regular users to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malicious software will be installed on the system. Explicit privileges (escal...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must off-load audit data to a separate log management facility; this must be continuous and in near real time for systems with a network connection to the storage facility and weekly or more often for stand-alone systems.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. T...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must provide a warning to appropriate support staff when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of maximum audit record storage capacity.
Organizations are required to use a central log management system, so, under normal conditions, the audit space allocated to the DBMS on its own server will not be an issue. However, space will sti...Rule Medium Severity -
The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must require users to reauthenticate when organization-defined circumstances or situations require reauthentication.
The DOD standard for authentication of an interactive user is the presentation of a Common Access Card (CAC) or other physical token bearing a valid, current, DOD-issued Public Key Infrastructure (...Rule Medium Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
