The control requirements

Review historic audit logs to determine if a vulnerability identified in a {{ insert: param, ra-05.08_odp.01 }} has been previously exploited within an {{ insert: param, ra-05.08_odp.02 }}.

Supplemental Guidance

Reviewing historic audit logs to determine if a recently detected vulnerability in a system has been previously exploited by an adversary can provide important information for forensic analyses. Such analyses can help identify, for example, the extent of a previous intrusion, the trade craft employed during the attack, organizational information exfiltrated or modified, mission or business capabilities affected, and the duration of the attack.
