HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by an Account Takeover via Response Manipulation vulnerability. A remote attacker can intercept and alter the contents of the server's HTTP responses before they reach the client application, allowing them to manipulate the authentication or authorization logic to bypass controls and gain unauthorized access to targeted user accounts.
AnalysisAI
Account takeover through HTTP response manipulation in HCL DFXAnalytics enables a network-positioned attacker to intercept and alter server responses before they reach the client, subverting authentication and authorization decisions enforced client-side. The product, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:hcl_software:dfxanalytics:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, appears to trust server-provided authentication outcomes without cryptographic integrity protection, allowing a low-privileged adversary-in-the-middle to gain unauthorized access to arbitrary user accounts. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to occupy an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) network position on the path between the victim client and the HCL DFXAnalytics server - either via ARP spoofing, rogue routing, DNS manipulation, or a compromised network appliance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The composite risk picture is moderate-to-low for opportunistic attackers but meaningful for targeted attacks. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with low-privilege network access positions themselves between a legitimate user and the DFXAnalytics server - for example via ARP spoofing on a shared VLAN or by compromising a network device. When the victim authenticates, the attacker intercepts the server's HTTP response indicating authentication failure or a low-privilege role and replaces those fields with values indicating success or administrative access. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the patch or configuration fix detailed in HCL's advisory KB0131787 at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0131787; an exact patched version number was not available in the provided intelligence and must be confirmed from that source. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
