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.

Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - ACF2CMDS.RPT(ACFGSO) Ensure the System Authorization Facility Definition (SAFDEF) includes an entry for WebSphere MQ as follows: INSERT SAFDEF.MQS ID(MQS) FUNCRET(8) RETCODE(4) MODE(IGNORE) RACROUTE(REQUEST=EXTRACT,CLASS=MQADMIN) REP If the Internal CLASMAP Definitions do not include the following entries, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
The ISSO will ensure that all WebSphere MQ resources are active and properly defined.
