Description
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.

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-225629r1146215_chk)

Refer to the following reports produced by the TSS Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(#RDT). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOMADM). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOMCMD). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOMCON). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOMNLI). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOMPRO.) - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOMQUE). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOXADM). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOXNLI). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOXPRO). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOXQUE). - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOOXTOP). If the following WebSphere MQ Resource Class(es) is (are) defined in the Resource Definition Table (RDT), this is not a finding. MQADMIN MQCMDS MQCONN MQNLIST MQPROC MQQUEUE When SCYCASE is set to MIXED, and the following WebSphere MQ Resource Class(es) is (are) defined in the Resource Definition Table (RDT), this is not a finding. MXADMIN MXNLIST MXPROC MXQUEUE MXTOPIC Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). Note: If both MQADMIN and MXADMIN resource classes are not defined to the RDT record, no security checking is performed.

Fix Text (F-27318r1146214_fix)

Ensure that all WebSphere MQ resources are defined to TSS. The following should be defined to the RDT: MQADMIN MQCONN MQCMDS MQNLIST MQPROC MQQUEUE When SCYCASE is set to mixed, and the following WebSphere MQ resource classes should be defined to the TSS RDT. MXADMIN MXNLIST MXPROC MXQUEUE MXTOPIC Use the following commands to define (establish ownership of) resources for each WebSphere MQ subsystem to TSS: TSS ADD(deptname) MQADMIN(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MQCMDS(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MQCONN(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MQNLIST(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MQPROC(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MQQUEUE(ssid.) When SCYCASE is set to mixed, CLASMAP Definitions must include the following entries: TSS ADD(deptname) MXADMIN(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MXNLIST(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MXPROC(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MXQUEUE(ssid.) TSS ADD(deptname) MXTOPIC(ssid.) Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). Another method to ensure protection is to assign the DEFPROT attribute to the resource class in the RDT record by using the following command: TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MQADMIN) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MQCMDS) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MQCONN) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MQNLIST) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MQPROC) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MQQUEUE) ATTR(DEFPROT) When SCYCASE is set to mixed. TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MXADMIN) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MXNLIST) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MXPROC) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MXQUEUE) ATTR(DEFPROT) TSS REP(RDT) RESCLASS(MXTOPIC) ATTR(DEFPROT)
