CVE-2025-62299 is a least privilege violation vulnerability in HCL Software's IntelliOps Event Management (IEM) product, specifically affecting version 1.4.0. The flaw allows an attacker who already has some level of privileges to access resources with higher privileges that should normally be restricted. The CVSS vector indicates the attack requires network access, high attack complexity, and privileges at a high level, with no user interaction needed. The impact includes high confidentiality loss, limited integrity loss, and no availability impact. The vulnerability is published but no official remediation or patch has been disclosed by HCL Software.

An attacker with high privileges could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to resources with elevated privileges that they should not normally access, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information (high confidentiality impact) and limited modification of data (low integrity impact). There is no impact on system availability. This could increase the risk of privilege escalation within the affected system.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or workaround has been published by HCL Software, organizations should monitor vendor communications for updates. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the affected version 1.4.0 of HCL IEM to trusted users only and consider additional access controls to limit privilege escalation risks.
