Findings (MAC III - Administrative Sensitive)

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-224303	Medium	Sensitive CICS transactions are not protected in accordance with security requirements.	Sensitive CICS transactions offer the ability to circumvent transaction level controls for accessing resources under CICS. These transactions must be protected so that only authorized users can...
V-224302	Medium	CICS system data sets are not properly protected.	CICS is a transaction-processing product that provides programmers with the facilities to develop interactive applications. Unauthorized access to CICS system data sets (i.e., product, security,...
V-224313	Medium	Sensitive CICS transactions are not protected in accordance with the proper security requirements.	Sensitive CICS transactions offer the ability to circumvent transaction level controls for accessing resources under CICS. These transactions must be protected so that only authorized users can...
V-224312	Medium	Sensitive CICS transactions are not protected in accordance with the proper security requirements.	Sensitive CICS transactions offer the ability to circumvent transaction level controls for accessing resources under CICS. These transactions must be protected so that only authorized users can...
V-224311	Medium	Key ACF2/CICS parameters must be properly coded.	The ACF2/CICS parameters define the security controls in effect for CICS regions. Failure to code the appropriate values could result in degraded security. This exposure may result in unauthorized...
V-224310	Medium	CICS startup JCL statement is not specified in accordance with the proper security requirements.	The CICS SIT is used to define system operation and configuration parameters of a CICS system. Several of these parameters control the security within a CICS region. Failure to code the...
V-224304	Medium	CICS System Initialization Table (SIT) parameter values must be specified in accordance with proper security requirements.	The CICS SIT is used to define system operation and configuration parameters of a CICS system. Several of these parameters control the security within a CICS region. Failure to code the...
V-224305	Medium	CICS region logonid(s) must be defined and/or controlled in accordance with the security requirements.	CICS is a transaction-processing product that provides programmers with the facilities to develop interactive applications. Improperly defined or controlled CICS userids (i.e., region, default,...
V-224306	Medium	CICS default logonid(s) must be defined and/or controlled in accordance with the security requirements.	CICS is a transaction-processing product that provides programmers with the facilities to develop interactive applications. Improperly defined or controlled CICS userids (i.e., region, default,...
V-224307	Medium	CICS logonid(s) must be configured with proper timeout and signon limits.	CICS is a transaction-processing product that provides programmers with the facilities to develop interactive applications. Improperly defined or controlled CICS userids (i.e., region, default,...
V-224308	Medium	ACF2/CICS parameter data sets are not protected in accordance with the proper security requirements.	CICS is a transaction-processing product that provides programmers with the facilities to develop interactive applications. Unauthorized access to ACF2/CICS parameter data sets (i.e., product,...
V-224309	Medium	IBM CICS Transaction Server SPI command resources must be properly defined and protected.	IBM CICS Transaction Server can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the...
