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-225631r1146221_chk)

Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(WHOHMCON). Review the following connection resources for each queue manager defined to the connection resource class: Resource Authorized Users ssid.BATCH TSO and batch job ACIDs ssid.CICS CICS region ACIDs ssid.IMS IMS region ACIDs ssid.CHIN Channel initiator ACIDs Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). For all connection resources defined to the MQCONN, if the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. Access authorization restricts access to the appropriate users as indicated above. All access FAILUREs are logged.

Fix Text (F-27320r1146220_fix)

Review the following connection resources defined to the MQCONN or MXCONN resource class: Resource Authorized Users ssid.BATCH TSO and batch job ACIDs ssid.CICS CICS region ACIDs ssid.IMS IMS region ACIDs ssid.CHIN Channel initiator ACIDs Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). For all connection resources defined to the MQCONN or MXCONN resource class, ensure the following items are in effect: Access authorization restricts access to the appropriate users as indicated above. All access FAILUREs are logged. The following is a sample of the commands required to allow a batch user (USER1) to connect to a queue manager (QM1): TSS ADD(USER1) FAC(QM1MSTR) TSS PER(USER1) MQCONN(QM1.BATCH) ACC(READ)
