HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by a high-severity Broken Access Control vulnerability, which could allow a low-privileged user to gain unauthorized access to administrative screens and functions reserved for higher-privileged roles.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in HCL BigFix Service Management lets a low-privileged authenticated user reach administrative screens and functions reserved for higher-privileged roles, effectively escalating their privileges within the ITSM instance. Per the vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, 8.1 High), the attacker must already hold a valid standard-role account and can reach the application over the network without user interaction, obtaining full read and write capability over the exposed administrative functionality with no direct availability impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a valid authenticated session as a low-privileged user of HCL BigFix Service Management (PR:L) reachable over the network (AV:N); no user interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N = 8.1 High) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity vertical privilege escalation: a low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L) reaches administrative screens and functions gated for higher roles, yielding full read (C:H) and write (I:H) over those functions but no direct availability impact (A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the fix documented in HCL's advisory KB0133782 (https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0133782), which is the authoritative source for the specific patched build and any version-specific upgrade path; no exact fix version is available in the provided data, so the released version must be confirmed from that advisory before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all HCL BigFix Service Management instances and identify which are network-exposed; restrict access to trusted management networks or VPN, enforce least privilege by removing unnecessary high-privilege roles from standard accounts, and enable detailed logging and alerting for administrative screens and role changes. …
