The HYCU Server must generate audit records containing the full-text recording of privileged commands.

Description
Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. Organizations consider limiting the additional audit information to only that information explicitly needed for specific audit requirements. The additional information required is dependent on the type of information (i.e., sensitivity of the data and the environment within which it resides). At a minimum, the organization must audit full-text recording of privileged commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise.

Check Text ( C-50269r768173_chk )
Check the contents of the "/var/log/audit/audit.log" file. HYCU also maintains Event (Audit) information in the "HYCU Web UI Events" menu. Verify the audit log contains records showing full-text recording of privileged commands. If the audit log is not configured or does not have required contents, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50223r768174_fix)
Log on to the HYCU VM console and load the STIG audit rules by using the following commands. 1. cp /usr/share/doc/audit/rules/10-base-config.rules /usr/share/doc/audit/rules/30-stig.rules /usr/share/doc/audit/rules/31-privileged.rules /usr/share/doc/audit/rules/99-finalize.rules /etc/audit/rules.d/ 2. augenrules --load
