Findings - All

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-224255	Medium	BMC MAINVIEW for z/OS configuration/parameter values are not specified properly.	BMC MAINVIEW for z/OS configuration/parameters controls the security and operational characteristics of products. If these parameter values are improperly specified, security and operational controls may be weakened. This exposure may threaten the availability of the product applications, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.
V-224254	Medium	BMC Mainview for z/OS Resource Class will be defined or active in the ACP.	Failure to use a robust ACP to control a product could potentially compromise the integrity and availability of the MVS operating system and user data.
V-224253	Medium	BMC Mainview for z/OS Started Task name must be properly identified and/or defined to the system ACP.	BMC Mainview for z/OS requires a started task that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets and other system functions. By defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP, It allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly...
V-224252	Medium	BMC MAINVIEW resources must be properly defined and protected.	BMC MAINVIEW can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to system...
V-224251	Medium	BMC MAINVIEW for z/OS STC data sets are not properly protected.	BMC MAINVIEW for z/OS STC data sets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
V-224250	Medium	BMC MAINVIEW for z/OS installation data sets are not properly protected.	BMC MAINVIEW for z/OS installation data sets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
