hi, I saw your question, there is about 107 security problems, I will state
one or two :

1) An unauthorized user can put a message  on the  queue
    (remember to spoof the sequence number (same as IP),
    it is predictable, the MQSeries protocol is published ).
2) you can tamper with the message (remember to recalculate check digit
    it is standard).
3) you can do replay (remember sequence number spoofing).
4) MQseries user can by using the browse function can look at
    sensitive information.
5) MQseries provides no protection against  eavesdropping.

or just change the MQM.dll with NEW MQM.dll that does nice put and get
instructions
