Title

The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are deleted.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of individual and group 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, deleting permissions is typically done via the REVOKE or DENY command.</VulnDiscussion>...

Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)

If currently required, configure the MySQL Database Server to produce audit records when privileges/permissions are deleted. See the supplemental file "MySQL80Audit.sql".
