Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, 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. Notification of account enabling is one method for mitigating this risk. A comprehensive account management process will ensure an audit trail which documents the creation of application user accounts and notifies administrators and Information System Security Officers (ISSO). Such a process greatly reduces the risk that accounts will be surreptitiously created and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes.
Review the router configuration to determine if it audits the enabling of accounts. This requirement can be met by ensuring that configuration changes are logged as shown in the following example: system { syslog { file LOG_FILE { change-log info; } } } Note: The parameter “any” can be in place of “change-log” as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host 10.1.58.2 { any info; } file LOG_FILE { change-log info; } console { any error; } } } If the enabling of accounts is not audited, this is a finding. Note: Accounts can be disabled by changing the assigned class to unauthorized (no permissions). Hence, accounts can be enabled by changing the assigned class for the user to a class other than unauthorized.

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.
