AI Analysis

Impact

An improper authorization vulnerability in HCL BigFix WebUI allows an authenticated user lacking Master Operator privileges to retrieve site names, version information, and configuration variables from unprotected endpoints. The flaw arises from missing access controls and inadequate security headers, permitting visibility into internal data that should be restricted to privileged accounts.

Affected Systems

HCL Software’s BigFix WebUI is impacted. All deployments using this web interface are potentially vulnerable until an update that restores proper authorization is applied, as no specific version range is defined in the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers require an authenticated session with non-privileged credentials and target endpoints that lack proper security headers to bypass privilege checks and access configuration data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest vendor patch for HCL BigFix WebUI that restores proper authorization checks
  • Restrict WebUI access to users with Master Operator privileges or enforce stricter role‑based controls
  • Configure HTTP security headers (e.g., X‑Frame‑Options, X‑Content‑Type‑Options, Content‑Security‑Policy) on vulnerable endpoints
  • If a patch is not yet available, limit network exposure of the WebUI to trusted IP ranges
