WebSphere MQ resources allow for the control of administrator functions, connections, commands, queues, processes, and namelists. Some resources provide the ability to disable or bypass security checking. Failure to properly protect WebSphere MQ resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of system services, applications, and customer data.
Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(MQCMDS). - ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) - Alternate report. For all command resources (i.e., ssid.command) defined to TYPE(MQC) (i.e., MQCMDS resource class), if the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). Access authorization restricts access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the WebSphere MQ COMMAND SECURITY CONTROLS Table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. All command access is logged as designated in the WebSphere MQ COMMAND SECURITY CONTROLS Table in the z/OS STIG Addendum.
The ISSO will ensure that all WebSphere MQ commands are restricted to authorized personnel. For all command resources (i.e., ssid.command) defined to TYPE(MQC) (i.e., MQCMDS resource class, ensure the following items are in effect: Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). Access authorization restricts access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the table titled WebSphere MQ COMMAND SECURITY CONTROLS in the zOS STIG Addendum. All command access is logged as designated in the table titled WebSphere MQ COMMAND SECURITY CONTROLS, in the zOS STIG Addendum. Example: $KEY(ssid) TYPE(MQC) ALTER.- UID(syspaudt) SERVICE(READ,ADD,UPDATE) LOG ALTER.- UID(*) PREVENT SET R(MQC) COMPILE 'ACF2.MVA.MQC(ssid)' STORE F ACF2,REBUILD(MQC)
