CVE-2025-59853: CWE-209: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information in HCL DFXAnalytics
HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by an Improper Error Handling vulnerability where the application exposes detailed stack traces in responses, which could allow an attacker to gain insights into the application's internal structure, code logic, and environment configurations.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-59853 describes an improper error handling vulnerability in HCL DFXAnalytics (versions 3.1 and below) where detailed stack traces are included in error messages returned by the application. This information disclosure could aid attackers in understanding the internal structure and environment of the application. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.1, reflecting a low-severity information disclosure with network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, and no user interaction needed.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to obtain sensitive information about the application's internal workings through error messages. This could potentially facilitate further attacks by revealing code paths and environment details. However, the impact is limited to information disclosure without direct integrity or availability consequences.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from HCL. Patch status is not yet confirmed—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, consider configuring the application to suppress detailed error messages in production environments to avoid exposing sensitive information.
