From SQL*Plus (NOTE: The owner list below is a short list of all possible default Oracle accounts): select grantee, privilege, owner, table_name from dba_tab_privs where (owner='SYS' or table_name like 'DBA_%') and privilege <> 'EXECUTE' and grantee not in ('PUBLIC', 'AQ_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE', 'AQ_USER_ROLE', 'AURORA$JIS$UTILITY$', 'OSE$HTTP$ADMIN', 'TRACESVR', 'CTXSYS', 'DBA', 'DELETE_CATALOG_ROLE', 'EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE', 'EXP_FULL_DATABASE', 'GATHER_SYSTEM_STATISTICS', 'HS_ADMIN_ROLE', 'IMP_FULL_DATABASE', 'LOGSTDBY_ADMINISTRATOR', 'MDSYS', 'ODM', 'OEM_MONITOR', 'OLAPSYS', 'ORDSYS', 'OUTLN', 'RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER', 'SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE', 'SNMPAGENT', 'SYSTEM', 'WKSYS', 'WKUSER', 'WMSYS', 'WM_ADMIN_ROLE', 'XDB', 'LBACSYS', 'PERFSTAT', 'XDBADMIN') and grantee not in (select grantee from dba_role_privs where granted_role='DBA') order by grantee; If no accounts or roles are listed, this is not a Finding. Verify that accounts/roles listed have been authorized by the IAO. NOTE: Any accounts created and assigned privileges by Oracle product installations do not require authorization by the IAO. The exclusion list provided in this check is subject to changes or additions made by updates to Oracle products. Non-Oracle products should not be assigned access to Oracle system data and tables, however, if required, document requirement in the System Security Plan and ensure authorization by the IAO.
