Discussion

Changing privileges of a subject/object may cause a subject/object to gain or lose capabilities. When successful/unsuccessful changes are made, the event needs to be logged. By logging the event, the modification or attempted modification can be investigated to determine if it was performed inadvertently or maliciously.

Check Content

Review the application server documentation and the system configuration to determine if the application server generates log records when successful/unsuccessful attempts are made to modify privileges.

If log records are not generated, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the application server to generate log records when privileges are successfully or unsuccessfully modified.
