Vulnerability discussion

Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider threats and the advanced persistent threat.

Search/filter for "Luna Control Center Event". 4. Click on "execution of privileged functions". 5. Verify that the following settings are selected by clicking the "Settings" button: "Manage - Manage Users". If the Luna Control Center event notifications are not enabled, this is a finding.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
