DescriptionCVE.org

HCL Hive is affected by an information exposure vulnerability where Swagger documentation was found exposed publicly.  Although no sensitive information (e.g., credentials, PII) was discovered, exposing API documentation to unauthenticated users can increase the overall attack surface.

AnalysisAI

HCL Hive exposes its Swagger API documentation publicly to unauthenticated users, revealing API endpoint structures, HTTP methods, request/response schemas, and operational surface without access controls. While no credentials or PII are directly disclosed per the vendor's assessment, the exposed documentation materially reduces the reconnaissance effort required for follow-on attacks against the API. …

Craft targeted probes for follow-on API attacks

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The Swagger documentation endpoint must be publicly accessible over the network without authentication, which appears to be the default or common production deployment state for affected HCL Hive versions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the moderate, reconnaissance-only nature of this exposure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated external attacker navigates directly to the HCL Hive Swagger UI endpoint (e.g., /swagger-ui.html) on an internet-facing deployment, browses the full OpenAPI specification to enumerate all API routes, accepted parameters, authentication schemes, and data models. Armed with this reconnaissance map, the attacker crafts targeted API requests to probe for authorization flaws, injection points, or business logic vulnerabilities in specific endpoints-dramatically reducing the time required for follow-on attack development. …
Remediation Consult the HCL knowledge base article KB0131731 at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0131731 for the vendor-recommended fix; an exact patched version number is not specified in currently available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
