Discussion

Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of users) associated with the events, security personnel cannot determine responsibility for the potentially harmful event. Event identifiers (if authenticated or otherwise known) include, but are not limited to, user database tables, primary key values, user names, or process identifiers (PIDs).

Review the application documentation and deployed configuration to determine whether the application's auditing mechanism generates audit records containing information that establishes the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.

If the application's auditing mechanism does not generate audit records containing information that establishes the identity of any individual or process associated with the event, this is a finding.
