The CA-TSS SUBACID Control Option must be set to U,8.

Rule version TSS0-ES-000860 · STIG v9 · 2026-09-01

Discussion

In certain situations, software applications/programs need to execute with elevated privileges to perform required functions. However, if the privileges required for execution are at a higher level than the privileges assigned to organizational users invoking such applications/programs, those users are indirectly provided with greater privileges than assigned by the organizations.

Some programs and processes are required to operate at a higher privilege level and therefore should be excluded from the organization-defined software list after review.

Check

From this ISPF Command Shell enter: TSS MODIFY STATUS

If the SUBACID Control Option values are NOT set to "SUBACID(U,8)", this is a finding.

Fix

Evaluate the impact associated with implementation of the control option. Develop a plan of action to implement the control option setting to "SUBACID(U,8)", and proceed with the change.
