Fix Recommendation

The ISSO will ensure that process security is active, all profiles are defined to the MQPROC class, and process inquiries are restricted to READ access.

For all process resources (i.e., ssid.processname) defined to TYPE(MQP) (i.e., MQPROC resource class or MXPROC resource class if SCYCASE is set to MIXED), ensure access authorization restricts access to users requiring the ability to make process inquiries. This is difficult to determine. However, an item for concern may be a profile with * READ specified in the access list.

Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier).

Example:

$KEY(ssid) TYPE(MQP)
CHL_TRIG_PROCESS UID(MQAdministrators) SERVICE(READ) LOG
CHL_TRIG_PROCESS UID(*) PREVENT
SYSTEM.DEFAULT.PROCESS UID(MQAdministrators) SERVICE(READ) LOG
SYSTEM.DEFAULT.PROCESS UID(*) PREVENT

Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection:

- SENSITVE.RPT(MQPROC).
- SENSITVE.RPT(MXPROC).
- ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) - Alternate report.

For all process resources (i.e., ssid.processname) defined to TYPE(MQP) or TYPE(MXP) (i.e., MQPROC or MXPROC resource class, if SCYCASE is set to MIXED), verify access authorization restricts access to users requiring the ability to make process inquiries. This is difficult to determine. However, an item for concern may be a profile with * READ specified in the access list. If this guidance is true, this is not a finding.

Note: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier).
