Description
HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where the shared storage used by product components is architected without sufficient access separation. Processes sharing the storage may be able to access or modify files beyond their intended scope, potentially resulting in unintended behavior or security impact under certain conditions.

AI Analysis

Impact

AION’s architecture allows several components to share a storage area that lacks proper separation controls. Because processes run by those components can access the shared files, they may read or modify data that was not intended for them. If an attacker can get code executed within any of these processes, they could potentially compromise other components, access sensitive data, or alter configuration files, thereby enabling unauthorized actions.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects HCL Software’s AION product. No specific version information is provided, so all installed instances of AION might be impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.7 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local; an attacker would need to execute code within one of the AION components that share the vulnerable storage. Successful exploitation could lead to elevation of privileges or unauthorized file access, with a limited but non‑negligible risk of data exposure or tampering.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure the shared storage so that each component has only the permissions necessary for its operation, limiting cross‑component file access.
  • Apply any vendor‑released patches or updates to AION when they become available.
  • Implement least‑privilege operating permissions for all AION processes to restrict file system access.
