Vulnerability discussion

Without the capability to select a user session to capture/record or view/hear, investigations into suspicious or harmful events would be hampered by the volume of information captured. The volume of information captured may also adversely impact the operation for the network.Session audits may include monitoring keystrokes, tracking websites visited, and recording information and/or file transfers.

Check content

If the Mainframe Product has no function or capability for session operations, this is not applicable. Examine installation and configuration settings. Verify that the Mainframe Product has the capability to select user sessions for monitoring and allows system programmers and security administrators to select sessions to capture/record or view/hear in accordance with applicable access control policies. If it does not, this is a finding. If there is an external security manager (ESM) in use, verify that the ESM restricts the ability to select sessions to capture/record or view/hear in accordance with applicable access control policies to system programmers or security administrators. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the Mainframe Product to permit authorized users to select a user session to capture/record or view/hear. If there is an ESM in use, configure ESM to restrict the ability to select sessions to capture/record or view/hear in accordance with applicable access control policies to system programmers or security administrators.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
