CVE-2026-35140: CWE-200-Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in HCL Software DFXAnalytics
HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by a Missing Secure Attribute in Encrypted Session (SSL) Cookie vulnerability. The application fails to set the "secure" attribute on session cookies generated during authentication, which could allow a remote attacker to intercept network traffic and capture sensitive cookies, session tokens, or credentials sent in cleartext over unencrypted channels.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in HCL DFXAnalytics involves missing the 'secure' attribute on SSL session cookies. Without this attribute, cookies may be transmitted over unencrypted HTTP connections, allowing potential interception of session tokens or credentials by remote attackers. This exposure could compromise session integrity but requires conditions such as network interception and user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, user interaction needed, and a confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact.
Potential Impact
Sensitive session cookies and authentication tokens may be exposed to unauthorized actors if transmitted over unencrypted channels, potentially enabling session hijacking or unauthorized access. However, the impact is limited as exploitation requires interception of network traffic and user interaction, and the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, ensure that session cookies are transmitted only over secure channels (HTTPS) and consider implementing additional controls such as enforcing HTTPS usage and setting the 'secure' attribute on cookies manually if possible.
