CVE-2026-56456: CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in HCL Software DFXAnalytics
HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by an Internal File Path Disclosure vulnerability. The application dashboard inadvertently leaks sensitive information regarding its internal file structure and directory paths through unhandled error messages, system logs, or debugging output, which could allow a remote attacker to map the underlying server environment and identify targets for further exploitation.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-56456 describes an internal file path disclosure vulnerability in HCL Software's DFXAnalytics product. The vulnerability arises because the application dashboard inadvertently exposes sensitive internal file paths and directory structures via unhandled error messages, system logs, or debugging output. This information disclosure can assist remote attackers in mapping the underlying server environment, potentially facilitating subsequent exploitation attempts. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited confidentiality impact. No official remediation or patch information is currently available, and no affected versions have been explicitly identified.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized remote attackers to gain limited confidential information about the internal file system and directory paths of the affected application. This exposure does not directly impact integrity or availability but may aid attackers in planning further attacks by revealing server environment details.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, monitor vendor communications for updates. Avoid exposing detailed error messages or debugging output in production environments to reduce information leakage risk.
