Description
Within the database, object ownership implies full privileges to the owned object, including the privilege to assign access to the owned objects to other subjects. Database functions and procedures can be coded using definer's rights. This allows anyone who utilizes the object to perform the actions if they were the owner. If not properly managed, this can lead to privileged actions being taken by unauthorized individuals. Conversely, if critical tables or other objects rely on unauthorized owner accounts, these objects may be lost when an account is removed.

ℹ️ Check
Get the list of authorized owners from ISSO or DBA. Use the following catalog views/queries to find the ownership of the various database objects: Select libname,owner from syscat.libraries Select modulename,owner from syscat.modules Select tabname,owner from syscat.nicknames Select pkgname,owner from syscat.packages Select routinename,owner from syscat.routines Select seqname,owner from syscat.sequences Select constname,owner from syscat.tabconst Select tabname,owner from syscat.tables Select tbspace,owner from syscat.tablespaces Select trigname,owner from syscat.triggers If any owner is not in the ISSO/DBA provided list, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Use the list identified in check. Drop and create the objects as necessary with the correct ownership.
