Description
The BMC IOA security exits enable access authorization checking to BMC IOA commands, features, and online functionality. If these exit(s) is (are) not in place, activities by unauthorized users may result. BMC IOA security exit(s) interface with the ACP. If an unauthorized exit was introduced into the operating environment, system security could be weakened or bypassed. These exposures may result in the compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.

ℹ️ Check
Interview the systems programmer responsible for the BMC IOA. Determine if the site has modified the following security exit(s): IOASE06 IOASE07 IOASE09 IOASE12 IOASE16 IOASE32 IOASE40 IOASE42 Ensure the above security exit(s) has (have) not been modified. If the above security exit(s) has (have) been modified, ensure that the security exit(s) has (have) been approved by the site systems programmer and the approval is on file for examination.

✔️ Fix
The system programmer responsible for the BMC IOA will review the BMC IOA operating environment. Ensure that the following security exit(s) is (are) installed properly.
