The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must generate audit records when security objects are modified.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

Description
Changes in the database objects (tables, views, procedures, functions) that record and control permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized changes to the security subsystem could go undetected. The database could be severely compromised or rendered inoperative.
