The vRA PostgreSQL database must set the log_statement to all.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-89405 VRAU-PG-000355 SV-100055r1_rule Medium
Description
Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of individuals' and groups' privileges could go undetected. Elevated privileges give users access to information and functionality that they should not have; restricted privileges wrongly deny access to authorized users. In an SQL environment, adding permissions is typically done via the GRANT command, or, in the negative, the DENY command.
