MYS8-00-002000 - The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must be able to generate audit records when security objects are accessed.

Information

Changes to the security configuration must be tracked.

This requirement applies to situations where security data is retrieved or modified via data manipulation operations, as opposed to via specialized security functionality.

In SQL environment, types of access include, but are not necessarily limited to:
SELECT
INSERT
UPDATE
DELETE
EXECUTE

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

If currently required, configure the MySQL Database Server to produce audit records when security objects are accessed.

See the supplemental file 'MySQL80Audit.sql'.
