AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from verbose client‑side API error messages that display raw server/API error details to users. These messages expose internal endpoint names, request parameters, error codes, and authentication status, corresponding to CWE‑209. The primary impact is the disclosure of internal system information, providing an attacker with reconnaissance material that could facilitate further attacks, though the vulnerability does not directly allow code execution or loss of data integrity.

Affected Systems

HCL Software’s HCL iControl is affected. No specific product version is listed in the CNA data, so the vulnerability potentially impacts all deployments of HCL iControl until a patch or configuration change is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.7 indicates low‑to‑moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, further implying limited real‑world use. Because the error messages are presented to clients, the attack vector is most likely a local or remote web/API request; the attacker would need to trigger the error condition to see the messages, which is inferred from the description as no explicit exploit code is provided.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch that disables verbose error messages in HCL iControl.
  • If a patch is not yet available, reconfigure the application to return generic error messages or disable the error details feature in the API settings.
  • Review and tighten access control for the API endpoints to ensure only authorized users can retrieve detailed error information.
  • Regularly scan the application for any additional information‑exposure weaknesses and verify that the error handling configuration remains restrictive.
