Description
Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations (e.g., key missions, functions). It is detrimental for software products to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. Database Management Systems (DBMSs) must adhere to the principles of least functionality by providing only essential capabilities.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 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.

Check Text (C-235144r960963_chk)

Review the list of components and features installed with the MySQL Database Server 8.0. List options MySQL Plugins/Components SELECT * FROM information_schema.PLUGINS where plugin_library is NOT NULL; Compare the feature listing against the required plugins listing. If any plugins are installed, but are not required, this is a finding. SELECT * FROM mysql.component; Compare the feature listing against the required components listing. If any components are installed, but are not required, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-38326r623553_fix)

Uninstall unused components or features that are installed and can be uninstalled. Remove any database objects and applications that are installed to support them. After review of installed plugin components uninstall unused plugins. To do this while the server is running using the UNINSTALL PLUGIN; command: Remove any plugin that is loaded at startup from the my.cnf file. For example - ddl_rewriter is discovered but are not being used. Follow these removal instructions. Remove this line from my.cnf: plugin-load-add=ddl_rewriter.so Remove any plugin that is not loaded at startup using the --plugin-load parameter from the my.cnf or on the command line. UNINSTALL PLUGIN <plugin_name>; UNINSTALL PLUGIN ddl_rewriter; Remove any component not in use UNINSTALL COMPONENT component_name [, component_name ] ...; For example - The audit message emit function is not being called, the component is not needed. UNINSTALL COMPONENT "file://component_audit_api_message_emit";
