2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | While the CVSS score of 6.5 indicates medium severity, the real-world risk profile is constrained by several mitigating factors. The CISA SSVC decision framework rates exploitation as none (not currently exploited), automatable as no (requires user interaction), and technical impact as partial (confidentiality only), collectively suggesting this is not an immediate priority for mass exploitation. The requirement for UI interaction (UI:R) and lack of reported public exploit code further reduce immediate exploitation probability. However, the high confidentiality impact (C:H) and unauthenticated network attack vector (AV:N, PR:N) mean that targeted adversaries could leverage this vulnerability to exfiltrate configuration files, credentials, or application source code to support more sophisticated follow-on attacks. Organizations running Aftermarket DPC should prioritize patching, but this does not constitute an emergency response scenario. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious link or hosts a phishing page that, when visited by an employee, triggers an automatic HTTP request to the Aftermarket DPC file discovery endpoint. The attacker uses the unauthenticated, low-complexity network interface to enumerate and retrieve sensitive configuration files, database connection strings, or API keys stored on the system. These credentials are then used to compromise downstream systems or facilitate a supply-chain attack against the organization's customers. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 26, 2026
HCL Aftermarket DPC version 1.0.0 is vulnerable to unauthenticated file discovery that allows remote attackers to read sensitive files from the system without user interaction beyond a single click, potentially enabling reconnaissance for follow-on attacks. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium) with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability consequences. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Contact HCL Software to obtain and deploy the patched version of Aftermarket DPC beyond version 1.0.0; consult the vendor advisory at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0129793 for specific patch version availability and deployment instructions. Until patching is completed, implement network-level access controls to restrict inbound connections to Aftermarket DPC to trusted IP ranges, disable or restrict file enumeration features if configurable, and monitor file access logs for unauthorized file discovery attempts. Consider isolating Aftermarket DPC instances to a separate network segment to limit exposure if compromised.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), a broad information disclosure weakness that reflects improper access controls or path traversal mechanisms in file handling logic. HCL Aftermarket DPC (cpe:2.3:a:hcl:aftermarket_dpc:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) does not implement sufficient restrictions on file enumeration or access, permitting attackers to discover and retrieve sensitive files through the network. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates the attack is network-accessible with low complexity, requires no privileges, and necessitates minimal user interaction (a single click), suggesting a direct HTTP request or client-side redirect mechanism that exposes the file discovery interface.

DescriptionCVE.org
HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by File Discovery which allows attacker could exploit this issue to read sensitive files present in the system and may use it to craft further attacks.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using HCL Aftermarket DPC should be aware of notable risk from CVE-2025-55265, a information exposure vulnerability rated CVSS 6.5. Sensitive information could be exposed to unauthorized parties. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict endpoint access, redact sensitive data in logs.
