Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Access Control: MQ
Abstract
Allowing user input to control the fields of the MQ object descriptor could enable an attacker to access or modify otherwise protected MQ resources.
Explanation
If an attacker can supply values that the application then uses to determine what kinds of authorization checks to perform on opening an MQ object, the potential exists for an attacker to pass all the access control checks when attempting to open otherwise inaccessible object.
Example 1: The following COBOL code snippet reads values from the terminal and uses them to control
In this example, an attacker could supply values that allow them to pass access control checks on the MQ object eing opened.
In general, do not allow user-provided or otherwise untrusted data to control sensitive values.
Example 1: The following COBOL code snippet reads values from the terminal and uses them to control
MQOD-ALTERNATEUSERID and MQOD-ALTERNATESECURITYID fields of the MQ object descriptor.
...
10 MQOD.
** Alternate user identifier
15 MQOD-ALTERNATEUSERID PIC X(12).
** Alternate security identifier
15 MQOD-ALTERNATESECURITYID PIC X(40).
...
...
ACCEPT MQOD-ALTERNATEUSERID.
ACCEPT MQOD-ALTERNATESECURITYID.
CALL 'MQOPEN' USING HCONN, MQOD, OPTS, HOBJ, COMPOCODE REASON.
...
In this example, an attacker could supply values that allow them to pass access control checks on the MQ object eing opened.
In general, do not allow user-provided or otherwise untrusted data to control sensitive values.
