Key ACF2/CICS parameters must be properly coded.

Description
The ACF2/CICS parameters define the security controls in effect for CICS regions. Failure to code the appropriate values could result in degraded security. This exposure may result in unauthorized access impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the CICS region, applications, and customer data.

Who does this work

10 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-224311r1141399_chk)

Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - EXAM.RPT(CICSPROC). Refer to the CICS Systems Programmer Worksheets filled out from previous vulnerability ZCIC0010. Refer to the CICS region SYSLOG - (Alternate source of SIT parameters). Browse the ACF2/CICS dataset allocated by the ACF2PARM DD statement in the JCL of each CICS procedure. If all key ACF2/CICS parameters for every CICS region are coded as stated in the table titled ACF2/CICS Parameters in the z/OS STIG Addendum, this is not a finding. Note: The DEFAULT TERMINAL=parameter must be specified. CICSKEY OPTION=VALIDATE,TYPE=resource type,RESOURCE=TRANS will specify a unique resource type for each CICS region.

Fix Text (F-25976r1141398_fix)

Ensure the ACF2/CICS parameters are coded with values specified in the table titled ACF2/CICS Parameters, in the zOS STIG Addendum. Browse the ACF2/CICS dataset allocated by the ACF2PARM DD statement in the JCL of each CICS procedure. Ensure that all key ACF2/CICS parameters for every CICS region are coded as stated in the table titled ACF2/CICS Parameters, in the zOS STIG Addendum.
