From SQL*Plus (NOTE: The owner list below is a short list of all possible default Oracle accounts): select grantee, granted_role from dba_role_privs where default_role='YES' and granted_role in (select grantee from dba_sys_privs where upper(privilege) like '%USER%') and grantee not in ('DBA', 'SYS', 'SYSTEM', 'CTXSYS', 'IMP_FULL_DATABASE', 'MDSYS', 'SYS', 'WKSYS') and grantee not in (select distinct owner from dba_tables) and grantee not in (select distinct username from dba_users where upper(account_status) like '%LOCKED%'); Review the list of accounts reported for this check and ensure that they are authorized application administration roles. If any are not authorized application administration roles, this is a Finding.

Fix Text (F-58927r1_fix)
For each role assignment returned, issue: From SQL*Plus: alter user [username] default role all except [role]; If the user has more than one application administration role assigned, then you will have to remove assigned roles from default assignment and assign individually the appropriate default roles.
