AAA Services must be configured to notify the system administrators (SAs) and information system security officer (ISSO) when accounts are created.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Once an attacker establishes access to an application, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of re-establishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply create a new account. Sending notification of account creation events to the system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk. AAA Services may not have built-in capabilities to notify the administrators and ISSO and may require the use of third-party tools (e.g. SNMP, SIEM) to perform the notification.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
