CVE-2026-56458: CWE-942 Permissive cross-domain security policy with untrusted domains in HCLSoftware HCL DevOps Deploy
HCL DevOps Deploy uses Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) which could allow an attacker to carry out privileged actions and retrieve sensitive information as the domain name is not being limited to only trusted domains.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
HCL DevOps Deploy uses a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy that is overly permissive, allowing requests from untrusted domains. This misconfiguration can enable attackers to carry out privileged actions and retrieve sensitive data by exploiting the lack of domain restrictions in the CORS implementation. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-942 (Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains). There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit the permissive CORS policy to perform unauthorized actions and access sensitive information within the HCL DevOps Deploy environment. The impact includes limited confidentiality and integrity loss but no availability impact is indicated. The CVSS score of 5.4 reflects a medium severity risk with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, review and restrict the CORS policy to allow only trusted domains to prevent exploitation. No vendor advisory or official remediation has been published yet.
