BMC CONTROL-O resources must be properly defined and protected.

Description
BMC CONTROL-O can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to system programmers only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain nonsystems personnel with read only authority.

Who does this work

17 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-224128r1069984_chk)

Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection and Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(ZCTO0020) - ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) - Alternate report Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZCTO0020) Verify that the accesses to resources and/or generic equivalent are properly restricted according to the requirements specified in BMC CONTROL-O Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. Note: To determine what resource class is used review the IOACLASS setting in SECPARM. The "Trigger" resources i.e., $$SECxxx (xxx is unique to the product) are defined in the FACILITY resource class The ACF2 resources are defined with a default access of PREVENT. The ACF2 resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel. The ACF2 resource logging requirements are specified.

Fix Text (F-25789r1069983_fix)

The ISSO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the Access Control Program (ACP). Note: To determine what resource class is used review the IOACLASS setting in SECPARM. The "Trigger" resources i.e., $$SECxxx (xxx is unique to the product) are defined in the FACILITY resource class (Note: The resource class, resources, and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resource class, resources, and/or resource prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.) Use BMC CONTROL-O Resources and BMC INCONTROL Resources Descriptions tables in the z/OS STIG Addendum. These tables list the resources, descriptions, and access and logging requirements. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent specified in the z/OS STIG Addendum are followed. The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing resource controls: $key($$ctoaop) type(ioa) - uid(<operaudt>) log - uid(<pcspaudt>) log - uid(<prodaudt>) log - uid(<syspaudt>) log - uid(*) prevent
