Description
Once an attacker establishes access to an application, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply enable a new or disabled account. Automatically auditing account enabling actions provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes.
If AAA Services rely on directory services for user account management, this is not applicable and the connected directory services must perform this function.
Verify AAA Services are configured to automatically audit account enabling actions.
If AAA Services are not configured to automatically audit account enabling actions, this is a finding.
