The Oracle WITH GRANT OPTION privilege should not be granted to non-DBA or non-Application administrator user accounts.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V-2533 | DO3451-ORACLE11 | SV-24905r1_rule | ECLP-1 | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| An account permission to grant privileges within the database is an administrative function. Minimizing the number and privileges of administrative accounts reduces the chances of privileged account exploitation. Application user accounts should never require WITH GRANT OPTION privileges since, by definition, they require only privileges to execute procedures or view / edit data. |
