CVE-2025-59852: CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information in HCL DFXAnalytics
HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by an Insufficient Transport Layer Protection vulnerability where data is transmitted over the network without encryption, which could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and authentication of sensitive information.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-59852 identifies a vulnerability in HCL DFXAnalytics (version 3.1 and below) where sensitive data is transmitted over the network without encryption, constituting insufficient transport layer protection (CWE-319). This flaw could allow an attacker to intercept and read sensitive information due to cleartext transmission. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 3.7, reflecting low severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. No official remediation or patch is currently documented, and the product is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates or configuration changes.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows potential interception of sensitive information transmitted in cleartext, compromising confidentiality. Integrity and availability are not impacted according to the CVSS vector. The low CVSS score reflects limited impact and higher attack complexity. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should consider mitigating exposure by using network-level encryption such as VPNs or TLS proxies where possible. Monitor vendor communications for official patches or configuration recommendations. No official remediation level or temporary fix has been provided by HCL at this time.
