CVE-2026-56609: CWE-327 Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in HCL Software HCL iControl
HCL iControl version 3.2.0 uses weak SSL/TLS protocols, specifically TLS 1.0 and 1.1, which are outdated and lack modern security features. This weakness can expose sensitive data during transmission to known cryptographic attacks. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-327 for use of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms. The CVSS score is 4.8, indicating a medium severity level.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-56609 identifies a vulnerability in HCL iControl version 3.2.0 where the application supports weak SSL/TLS versions (TLS 1.0 and 1.1). These protocols are considered insecure due to known cryptographic weaknesses and lack of modern protections, potentially allowing attackers to intercept or manipulate sensitive data in transit. The issue is categorized under CWE-327, indicating the use of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor as of the published date.
Potential Impact
The use of weak TLS versions can lead to exposure of sensitive information during data transmission. While the vulnerability does not allow direct system compromise or denial of service, it weakens the confidentiality and integrity of communications, increasing the risk of data interception or tampering by attackers capable of exploiting these outdated protocols.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, it is recommended to disable support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 in HCL iControl and configure the system to use only modern, secure TLS versions such as TLS 1.2 or higher if possible.
