Description
HCL Aftermarket EPC is vulnerable to attack since the application does not have an appropriate caching policy specifying the extent to which the page and its form fields should be cached. If sensitive information in application responses is stored in the local cache, then this may be retrieved by other users who have access to the same computer at a future time.

AI Analysis

Impact

HCL Aftermarket EPC fails to enforce an appropriate caching policy, allowing pages that include sensitive information to be cached locally. If such responses are stored in the browser or local cache, another user who has access to the same device can retrieve that information at a later time. This flaw is an example of CWE‑525, where cached data may be accessed by unintended parties. The primary consequence is a confidentiality breach, with no impact on integrity or availability reported.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to HCLSoftware's Aftermarket EPC application. No specific version range is referenced in the advisory, so all current releases are potentially affected until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be local: an attacker must have physical or shared access to a device that has cached the affected page. Under those conditions, the vulnerable application could expose confidential data to other users of the same computer.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure the web server or application to send "Cache‑Control: no-store, no-cache, must‑revalidate, private" for pages exposing confidential information.
  • Restrict local permissions or use operating‑system controls to prevent other users from accessing browser or system cache where the application’s data might be stored.
  • Monitor for vendor updates and apply any released fixes that address caching policy issues.
