WebSphere MQ RESLEVEL resources in the appropriate ADMIN resource class must be protected in accordance with security requirements.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
WebSphere MQ resources allow for the control of administrator functions, connections, commands, queues, processes, and namelists. Some resources provide the ability to disable or bypass security checking. Failure to properly protect WebSphere MQ resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of system services, applications, and customer data.

A Manual Procedure
RESLEVEL security profiles control the number of userids checked for API resource security. RESLEVEL security will not be implemented due to the following exposures and limitations:
1) RESLEVEL is a powerful option that can cause the bypassing of all security checks.
2) Security audit records are not created when the RESLEVEL profile is utilized.
