Vulnerability discussion

Without the capability to capture, record, and log all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. This requirement does not apply to Mainframe Products that do not have a concept of a user session (e.g., calculator).

Check content

If the Mainframe Product has no function or capability for session operations, this is not applicable. Examine installation and configuration settings. If the Mainframe Product does not have the capability to capture, record, and audit user sessions, this is a finding. If the Mainframe Product does not restrict the ability to capture, record, and audit user sessions to system programmers or security administrators, this is a finding. If an external security manager (ESM) is in use, examine the configuration and rules to determine if the ability to capture, record, and audit user sessions is restricted to system programmers or security administrators. If it is not, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the Mainframe Product to permit authorized users to capture, record, and log all content related to a user session. If an ESM is in use, configure the rules to restrict the ability to capture, record, and audit user sessions to system programmers and 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.
