DescriptionCVE.org

HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by a Security Misconfiguration vulnerability, which could allow an authenticated attacker to exploit improper access controls, enabling the unauthorized viewing of restricted data elements across tenant boundaries.

AnalysisAI

Cross-tenant data exposure in HCL BigFix Service Management allows an authenticated user with a valid account in one tenant to read restricted data elements belonging to other tenants because of improper access controls. Affected deployments are those operated in shared or multi-tenant mode; the impact is limited to confidentiality (unauthorized viewing), with no modification or disruption of data, and no user interaction is required on the victim's side (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 5.0). …
