CA IDMS and associated applications, when making use of dynamic code execution, must scan input data for invalid values that may indicate a code injection attack.

Check Text ( C-55058r807734_chk )
If dynamic code execution is used and identified user input is not validity checked user input, this is a finding. If SQL-defined tables, DISPLAY TABLE . . If there is not a CHECK for the columns and accompanying accepted values, this is a finding. If network-defined records, DISPLAY SCHEMA or DISPLAY RECORD. If there is no CALL to a procedure BEFORE STORE and BEFORE MODIFY, this is a finding. If the procedure does not validate the non-exempt columns, this is a finding. Other applications and front-ends using mapping can use the automatic editing feature and edit and code tables to verify that an input value is valid.

Fix Text (F-55012r807735_fix)
For SQL-defined tables, ALTER TABLE . ADD CHECK (search-condition). For network-defined records, MODIFY CALL procedure BEFORE STORE/MODIFY. Create or update procedure to validate provided record field values. Other applications and front-ends using mapping can use the automatic editing feature and edit and code tables to verify that an input value is valid.
