Ensure 'Control Server' permission is not granted

AltaNível 1Revisão manualmssql

Descrição

The Control Server permission is a highly privileged server-level permission in SQL Server database engine. Moreover, even though this permission is not as powerful as SYSADMIN role, it has almost most of the permissions of SYSADMIN role. Also, database logins granted control server permission can easily elevate to SYSADMIN role through different exploit techniques which is a serious security problem. This will greatly reduce attack surface, as accounts that get compromised by attackers with Control Server permission can escalate to SYSADMIN role. So, attackers can’t break into the database system with highly privileged accounts. Revoking control server permission will prevent privilege elevation attacks.
