MariaDB must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.

Description
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent or interfere with the auditing of critical events. Suppression of auditing could permit an adversary to evade detection. Misconfigured audits can degrade the systems performance by overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Who does this work

12 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

MariaDB Enterprise Audit plugin stores audit filters in the table mysql.server_audit_filters. Any users with update/delete/insert access to this table can modify the audit filters. Users with global insert, update, delete, and/or drop privileges can modify audit filters. Find users with global insert, update, delete, and/or drop privileges: MariaDB> SELECT user, host, insert_priv, update_priv, delete_priv, drop_priv FROM mysql.user WHERE insert_priv = 'y' OR update_priv = 'y' OR delete_priv = 'y' OR drop_priv = 'y'; Users with insert, update, delete, and/or drop privileges on the mysql database can modify audit filters. Find users with insert, update, delete, and/or drop privileges on the mysql database: MariaDB> SELECT user, host, insert_priv, update_priv, delete_priv, drop_priv FROM mysql.db WHERE db = 'mysql' AND (insert_priv = 'y' OR update_priv = 'y' OR delete_priv = 'y' OR drop_priv = 'y' ); Users with insert, update, delete, and/or drop privileges on the server_audit_filters and server_audit_users tables can modify audit filters. Find users with insert, update, delete, and/or drop privileges on the mysql database: MariaDB> SELECT user, host, db, table_name, grantor, table_priv, timestamp, column_priv FROM mysql.tables_priv WHERE db = 'mysql' AND table_name IN ('server_audit_filters','server_audit_users') AND (table_priv LIKE '%Insert%' OR table_priv LIKE '%Update%' OR table_priv LIKE '%Delete%' OR table_priv LIKE '%Drop%' ); If any users with the above privileges are found which should not have access to modify audit filters, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-57074r841537_fix)

Grant the necessary privileges to authorized users. Example: MariaDB> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mysql.server_audit_filters TO 'username'@'host'; MariaDB> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mysql.server_audit_users TO 'username'@'host'; For users found with access who are not authorized to modify audit filters, review the user's privileges, and update accordingly.
