CVE-2026-56568: CWE-209 Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information in HCL Software HCL iControl
HCL iControl is affected by a vulnerability where verbose client-side API error messages expose sensitive internal information. Instead of generic error messages, the application displays raw server or API error details to users, revealing internal endpoint names, request parameters, error codes, and authentication status. This information exposure is classified under CWE-209. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 3.7, indicating limited impact.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-56568 describes an information exposure vulnerability in HCL iControl caused by the generation of verbose error messages on the client side. These error messages disclose sensitive internal details such as endpoint names, request parameters, error codes, and authentication status. This exposure could aid an attacker in gathering information about the internal workings of the application. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.7 (low), with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and only confidentiality impact. No patch or official remediation level has been published yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to obtain sensitive internal information through detailed error messages. While it does not directly impact integrity or availability, the exposure of internal API details and authentication status could facilitate further reconnaissance or targeted attacks. The overall impact is limited to confidentiality with a low severity rating.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider configuring the application to display generic error messages that do not reveal internal details. Avoid exposing raw server or API error messages to end users to reduce information leakage.
