MYS8-00-009300 - The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must produce audit records of its enforcement of access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of the MySQL Database Server 8.0 or database(s).

Information

Without auditing the enforcement of access restrictions against changes to configuration, it would be difficult to identify attempted attacks and an audit trail would not be available for forensic investigation for after-the-fact actions.

Enforcement actions are the methods or mechanisms used to prevent unauthorized changes to configuration settings. Enforcement action methods may be as simple as denying access to a file based on the application of file permissions (access restriction). Audit items may consist of lists of actions blocked by access restrictions or changes identified after the fact.

Solution

If currently required, configure the MySQL Database Server to produce audit records when enforcement of access restrictions is associated with changes to the configuration of the DBMS or database(s).

Refer to the supplemental file 'MySQL80Audit.sql'.
