Ensure Socket Peer-Credential Authentication is Used Appropriately
Description
The server-side unix_socket authentication plugin authenticates clients that connect to the MariaDB server from the local host through the Unix socket file. Users authenticated using unix_socket need not specify a password when connecting to the server.
Méthode de vérification
Méthode d'audit: Revue manuelle
Run SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS FROM information_schema.PLUGINS WHERE PLUGIN_NAME = 'unix_socket'; and SELECT CONCAT(user,'@',host,' => ',JSON_DETAILED(priv)) FROM mysql.global_priv WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(priv, '{"plugin":"unix_socket"}', '$.auth_or'); Use of the plugin when not allowed, a non-localhost host or an unauthorized user is a fail.
Méthode de correction
Méthode de correction: Recommandation ou correctif d'infrastructure
Restrict unix_socket to authorized local accounts (ALTER USER ... IDENTIFIED VIA ...), or disable the plugin with unix_socket=OFF under [mariadbd] if your policy forbids it.
