The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are modified.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of individuals and groups privileges could go undetected. Elevated privileges give users access to information and functionality that they should not have; restricted privileges wrongly deny access to authorized users. In a SQL environment, modifying permissions is typically done via the GRANT, REVOKE, and DENY commands.
