CICSpwn is a tool to pentest CICS Transaction servers on z/OS.
- Get general information about CICS and the underlying z/OS
- List available IBM supplied transactions
- Get active sessions and userids
- Get path (HLQ) of files and libraries
- Check if CICS is using RACF/ACF2/TopSecret
- Read files created by the application
- Enables CECI and CEMT if they are RACF protected
- Remotely execute code using Spoolopen and TDqueue
- Checks security settings on z/OS
$python cicspwn.py -h

CicsPwn: a tool to pentest CICS transaction servers on z/OS
positional arguments:
IP The z/OS Mainframe IP or Hostname
PORT CICS/VTAM server Port
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a APPLID, --applid APPLID
CICS ApplID on VTAM, default is CICS
General information:
-A, --all Gather all information about a CICS Transaction Server
-i, --info Gather basic information about a CICS region
-u, --userids Scrape userids found in different menus
-p PATTERN, --pattern PATTERN
Specify a pattern of a files/transaction/tsqueue to
get (default is "*")
-q, --quiet Remove Trailing and journal before performing any
action
--ceci CECI CECI new transaction name. Result of -i option.
--cemt CEMT CEMT new transaction name. Result of -i option.
--bypass if CEDA is available, it copies CEMT and CECI to new
transid which bypasses RACF
-b OLD_TRAN if CEDA is available, it copies OLD_TRAN to NEW TRAN
(-n option) to bypass RACF. if no NEW TRAN is
specified, CICSpwn chooses an IBM supplied transaction
always available
-n NEW_TRAN if CEDA is available, it copies OLD_TRAN (-b) to NEW
TRAN to bypass RACF
Storage options:
-f, --files List all installed files a on TS CICS
-e, --tsqueues List all temporary storage queues on TS CICS
--get-file FILENAME Get the content of a file. It attempts to change the
status of the file if it's not enabled, opened or
readable
--get-tsq TSQ_NAME Get the content of a temporary storage queue.
--add-record FILENAME_ADD
Add a record (--num) to FILE. if NUM exists, updates
the record
--add-item TSQUEUE_ADD
Add an item (--num) to TSqueue. if NUM exists, updates
the item
--num ITEM # item to read/add/update from a file or TSQueue
--data DATA file containing new data to update the file
Transaction options:
-t, --trans Get all installed transactions on a CICS TS server
--enable-trans ENA_TRANS
Enable a transaction (keyword ALL to enable every
transaction)
--check-trans CHECK_TRANS
Checks security access to the transactions specified
in <file.txt>
--check-files CHECK_FILES
Checks security access to the files specified in
<file.txt>
Access options:
-U USERID, --userid USERID
Specify a userid to use on CICS
-P PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
Specify a password for the userid
-r PROPAGATE_USER Given the region user ID, checks wether you are
allowed to use it to submit JOBs
-g SURROGAT_USER Checks wether you can impersonate another user when
submitting a job
JOB options:
-s SUBMIT, --submit SUBMIT
Submit JCL to CICS server. Specify:
dummy,reverse_unix, reverse_tso, direct_unix,
reverse_unix, ftp or custom (need -j option)
--queue QUEUE Provides the name of the TD queue to submit a JOB
--ftp-cmds FTP_CMDS Files containig a list of ftp commands to execute
--node NODE System node name where the JOB should be submitted
(works only with Spool functions)
-l LHOST, --lhost LHOST
Remote server to call back to for reverse shell
(host:port)
--port PORT Remote port to open for bind shell in REXX
--jcl JCL Custom JCL file to provide
--rexx REXX_FILE Custom REXX file to execute in memory. No label or
line continuation must be present in the file

[*] JCL Written to TDqueue, it should be executed any second
- Reverse_tso: spawns a reverse tso shell to the host specified by --lhost ip:port option.
- direct_tso: same as reverse_tso but binds the shell to --port option
- reverse_unix: spawns a reverse unix shell to the host specified by --lhost ip:port option.
- direct_unix: same as reverse_unix but binds the shell to --port option
- ftp: connects to a remote ftp server specified by --lhost ip:port and executes commands specified in file --ftp-cmds
- reverse_rexx: writes a dropper to disk that fetches a rexx payload from --lhost ip:port and executes it in memory. The listener is handled by CICSpwn. The only constraint is that the rexx file must not contain labels or continuation lines
- custom: sends a custom JCL specified by --jcl option
- dummy: executes ftp to --lhost ip:port to make sure reverse connection is possible
