The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must include additional, more detailed, organizationally defined information in the audit records for audit events identified by type, location, or subject.

Description
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. To support analysis, some types of events will need information to be logged that exceeds the basic requirements of event type, time stamps, location, source, outcome, and user identity. If additional information is not available, it could negatively impact forensic investigations into user actions or other malicious events. The organization must determine what additional information is required for complete analysis of the audited events. The additional information required is dependent on the type of information (e.g., sensitivity of the data and the environment within which it resides). At a minimum, the organization must employ either full-text recording of privileged commands or the individual identities of group users, or both. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise. Examples of detailed information the organization may require in audit records are full-text recording of privileged commands or the individual identities of group account users.

Check Text ( C-38317r623414_chk )
If a MySQL Server Audit is not in use for audit purposes, this is a finding unless a third-party product is being used that can perform detailed auditing for MySQL Server. Review system documentation to determine whether MySQL Server is required to audit any events and any fields, in addition to those in the standard audit. If there are none specified, this is not a finding. If MySQL Server Audit is in use, compare the audit specification(s) with the documented requirements. If any such requirement is not satisfied by the audit specification(s) (or by supplemental, locally-deployed mechanisms), this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-38280r623415_fix)
Design and deploy an audit configuration that captures all auditable events and data items. Create rule SELECT audit_log_filter_set_filter('log_all', '{ "filter": { "log": true } }'); SELECT audit_log_filter_set_user('%', 'log_all'); If a third-party tool is used for auditing, it must contain all the required information including, but not limited to, events, type, location, subject, date and time and by whom the change occurred. Implement additional custom audits to capture the additional organizationally required information.
