Description
Source code may include information on data relationships, locations of sensitive data that are otherwise obscured, or other processing information that could aid a malicious user. Encoding or encryption of the custom source code objects within the database helps protect against this type of disclosure.

Check Text ( C-28829r2_chk )
If this is not a production database, this check is Not a Finding. From SQL*Plus (NOTE: The owner list below is a short list of all possible default Oracle accounts): select owner||'.'||name from dba_source where line=1 and owner not in ('SYS', 'CTXSYS', 'MDSYS', 'ODM', 'OE', 'OLAPSYS', 'ORDPLUGINS', 'ORDSYS', 'OUTLN', 'PM', 'QS_ADM', 'RMAN', 'SYSTEM', 'WKSYS', 'WMSYS', 'XDB') and owner not like 'OEM%' and text not like '%wrapped%' and type in ('PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION', 'PACKAGE BODY'); Review the list of results with the DBA. If any results are custom or GOTS application code, this is a Finding. If all returned results are default DBMS or COTS application code, this is not a Finding.
Fix Text (F-25837r1_fix)
Use the Oracle WRAP utility to encode application source code stored in application database objects (stored procedures, functions, package bodies). The following may be used as an example process: 1) export the application object source and store in an external file. From SQL*Plus: set show off set heading off set verify off set echo off set term off set pagesize 0 set feedback off set serveroutput on size 1000000 set wrap on set trimspool on set linesize 512 spool [output file name = proc.sql] select text from dba_source where object_name='[object name]'; spool off 2) From system command line, invoke the wrap utility. wrap iname=proc.sql oname=proc.plb This will result in the file name proc.plb 3) re-create the object with the encoded source code. From SQL*Plus: @proc.plb
