Description
Sensitive CICS transactions offer the ability to circumvent transaction-level controls for accessing resources under CICS. These transactions must be protected so that only authorized users can access them. Unauthorized use can result in the compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the operating system or customer data.

Check Text (C-224313r1141405_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. Browse the ACF2/CICS dataset allocated by the ACF2PARM DD statement in the JCL of each CICS procedure. If the PROTLIST parameter is not specified for all CICS regions, this is not a finding.

Fix Text (F-25978r1141404_fix)

The systems programmer and ISSO will ensure the ACF2/CICS parameter PROTLIST is not coded. Browse the ACF2/CICS dataset allocated by the ACF2PARM DD statement in the JCL of each CICS procedure. Make sure the PROTLIST parameter is not specified for all CICS regions.
