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-224370r1055909_chk)

a) Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection and Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(MQADMIN) - ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) - Alternate report Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZWMQ0060) b) Ensure the following items are in effect: NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). 1) A RESLEVEL resource (i.e., ssid.RESLEVEL) is defined for each queue manager to TYPE(MQA) (i.e., MQADMIN or MXADMIN resource class) with a default access of PREVENT. 2) Access authorization to these RESLEVEL resources restricts all access. No users are permitted access to ssid.RESLEVEL resources. c) If both of the items in (b) are true, there is no finding. d) If either item in (b) is untrue, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-26035r1050691_fix)

Ensure that a ssid.RESLEVEL profile is only defined for each queue manager. Ensure the following items are in effect: NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). 1) A RESLEVEL resource (i.e., ssid.RESLEVEL) is defined for each queue manager to TYPE(MQA) (i.e., MQADMIN or MZADMIN resource class) with a default access of PREVENT. 2) Access authorization to these RESLEVEL resources restricts all access. No users are permitted access to ssid.RESLEVEL resources. Example: $KEY(ssid) TYPE(MQA) RESLEVEL UID(*) PREVENT
