Information
Oracle application administration roles must be disabled if not required and authorized.
GROUP ID: V-270533
RULE ID: SV-270533r1065215
Application administration roles, which are assigned system or elevated application object privileges, must be protected from default activation. Application administration roles are determined by system privilege assignment ( create / alter / drop user ) and application user role ADMIN OPTION privileges.
NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
For each role assignment returned, issue:
From SQL*Plus:
alter user [username] default role all except [role];
If the user has more than one application administration role assigned, then remove assigned roles from default assignment and assign individually the appropriate default roles.
