HCL vulnerabilities and threats

HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by an Insufficient Transport Layer Protection vulnerability where data is transmitted over the network without encryption, which could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and authentication of sensitive information.

HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by a Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities flaw where the application utilizes unpatched libraries or sub-components, which could allow an attacker to identify and exploit publicly known security vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access or compromise the application.

HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by an Insecure Security Header configuration vulnerability where the Content-Security-Policy does not define strict directives for object-src and base-uri, which could allow an attacker to exploit injection vectors such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

HCL BigFix Service Management (SM) Discovery is vulnerable to unenforced encryption due to port 80 (HTTP) being open, allowing unencrypted access.  An attacker with access to the network traffic can sniff packets from the connection and uncover the data.

HCL BigFix Service Management is susceptible to HTTP Request Smuggling.  HTTP request smuggling vulnerabilities arise when websites route HTTP requests through web servers with inconsistent HTTP parsing. HTTP Smuggling exploits inconsistencies in request parsing between front-end and back-end servers, allowing attackers to bypass security controls and perform attacks like cache poisoning or request hijacking.

HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where certain system behaviours may allow exploration of internal filesystem structures. Exposure of such information may provide insights into the underlying environment, which could potentially aid in further targeted actions or limited information disclosure.

CVE-2025-31991 is a vulnerability in HCLSoftware Velocity where rate limiting on user login attempts is not properly enforced. This allows an attacker with high privileges to perform brute-force attacks beyond the intended unsuccessful login attempt limits. The issue is fixed in version 5.1.7. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.8, indicating a medium severity level.

CVE-2026-21767 is a medium severity vulnerability in HCL BigFix Platform versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.5. It involves insufficient authentication, potentially allowing unauthorized users to access sensitive areas of the application without proper authentication. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.0, indicating limited impact primarily on confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild and no official patch or remediation information is currently available.

CVE-2026-21765 is a vulnerability in HCL BigFix Platform versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.5 where private cryptographic keys on Windows hosts have overly permissive file system permissions. This incorrect permission assignment could allow unauthorized users with local access to read or modify these critical keys. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating a significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Missing Functional Level Access Control which will allow attacker to escalate his privileges and may compromise the application and may steal and manipulate the data.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by SQL Injection which allows attacker to exploit this vulnerability to retrieve sensitive information from the database.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Hardcoded Sensitive Data which allows attacker to gain access to the source code or if it is stored in insecure repositories, they can easily retrieve these hardcoded secrets.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Failure to Invalidate Session on Password Change will allow attacker to access to a session, then they can maintain control over the account despite the password change leading to account takeover.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by File Discovery which allows attacker could exploit this issue to read sensitive files present in the system and may use it to craft further attacks.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Session Fixation which allows attacker to takeover the user's session and use it carry out unauthorized transaction behalf of the user.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability, allows attacker to upload and execute malicious scripts, gaining full control over the server.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Spamming Vulnerability which can allow the actor to excessive spamming can consume server bandwidth and processing resources which may lead to Denial of Service.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Weak Password Policy vulnerability, which makes it easier for attackers to guess weak passwords or use brute-force techniques to gain unauthorized access to user accounts.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Improper Input Validation which allows an attacker to inject executable code and can carry out attacks such as XSS, SQL Injection, Command Injection etc.

HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by HTTP Response Splitting vulnerability where in depending on how the web application handles the split response, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands or inject harmful content into the response..
