5.2.12 Ensure 'CREATE ANY LIBRARY' Is Revoked from Unauthorized 'GRANTEE'

Information

The Oracle database CREATE ANY LIBRARY privilege allows the designated user to create objects that are associated to the shared libraries. Unauthorized grantees should not have that privilege.

The CREATE ANY LIBRARY privilege can allow the creation of numerous library-associated objects and potentially corrupt the libraries' integrity.

Solution

To remediate this setting, execute the following SQL statement, keeping in mind if this is granted in both container and pluggable database, you must connect to both places to revoke.

REVOKE CREATE ANY LIBRARY FROM <grantee>;
