Database Security Requirements Guide
Title
The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to modify privileges/permissions occur.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Failed attempts to change the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized attempts to elevate or restrict privileges could go undetected. In an SQL environment, modifying permissions is typically done via the GRANT, REVOKE, and DENY commands. To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of failed attempts in addition to the successful ones.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNega...

Configure the DBMS to produce audit records when other errors prevent attempts to modify privileges/permissions/role membership.
