Custom and GOTS application source code stored in the database should be protected with encryption or encoding.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-3823 DG0091-ORACLE11 SV-28568r2_rule DCSL-1 Low
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.

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-25838r1_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
