MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The vulnerability presents a moderate real-world risk profile despite the high CVSS base score of 8.1. CVSS metrics indicate network-based exploitation with low attack complexity and no privileges required, yielding high confidentiality impact and high availability impact but no integrity impact. However, user interaction is required (UI:R), reducing immediate exploitability. CISA SSVC framework assessment indicates no current exploitation activity, non-automatable attack chains, and partial technical impact, suggesting lower prioritization compared to weaponized vulnerabilities. The absence of public exploit code and KEV listing further reduces urgency. EPSS probability data was not provided but the combination of required user interaction and lack of observed exploitation suggests this is not a widespread immediate threat, though organizations running Aftermarket DPC 1.0.0 should prioritize remediation due to the unauthenticated attack surface and data manipulation potential. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker crafts a malicious link or phishing email containing a direct URL to privileged administrative functions within HCL Aftermarket DPC 1.0.0. When a legitimate user clicks the link (satisfying the UI:R requirement), the application processes the request without validating functional authorization, allowing the attacker to execute privileged operations such as accessing sensitive aftermarket data, modifying inventory records, or disrupting application availability. The low attack complexity (AC:L) indicates readily available exploitation techniques once user interaction is achieved, requiring no specialized tools or environmental conditions. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 26, 2026
Missing functional level access control in HCL Aftermarket DPC version 1.0.0 enables privilege escalation attacks that can compromise application integrity and confidentiality. Unauthenticated attackers can leverage this access control flaw to manipulate and exfiltrate data with user interaction required (CVSS 8.1, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, with CISA SSVC rating the technical impact as partial and exploitation status as none.
RemediationAI
Consult the HCL vendor advisory at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0129793 for specific patching guidance and version upgrade instructions. Patch availability details and fixed version numbers are available through the HCL support portal knowledge base article KB0129793. Until patching is completed, implement compensating controls including network segmentation to restrict access to Aftermarket DPC instances to trusted IP ranges, deploy web application firewall rules to monitor and block unauthorized function invocations, enforce strict session management and role-based access controls at infrastructure layers, and implement enhanced logging to detect privilege escalation attempts. Organizations should review audit logs for suspicious administrative function calls from low-privilege or unauthenticated sessions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
HCL Aftermarket DPC version 1.0.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:hcl:aftermarket_dpc) suffers from CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), specifically missing functional level access control mechanisms. This vulnerability class occurs when an application fails to validate that users have appropriate authorization before granting access to privileged functions or resources. Unlike authentication bypass which defeats credential checks, functional level access control failures allow authenticated or unauthenticated users to invoke administrative or privileged operations by directly accessing URLs, API endpoints, or application functions that lack proper authorization enforcement at the business logic layer. The CVSS vector indicates network-accessible attack surface (AV:N) with no authentication prerequisite (PR:N), though user interaction is required (UI:R).

DescriptionCVE.org
HCL Aftermarket DPC is affected by Missing Functional Level Access Control which will allow attacker to escalate his privileges and may compromise the application and may steal and manipulate the data.
Executive ViewAI
HCL Aftermarket DPC version 1.0.0 contains a critical access control flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges and access or modify sensitive data with minimal user interaction. Organizations deploying this application face potential unauthorized data exposure and system manipulation without an available vendor patch, requiring immediate interim controls to reduce risk.
Pending vendor patch availability: (1) Restrict network access to HCL Aftermarket DPC 1.0.0 using firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted users only; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block unauthorized privilege escalation requests; (3) Implement enhanced logging and monitoring on the application to detect anomalous data access or modification patterns; (4) Disable or restrict non-essential application features if feasible; (5) Require multi-factor authentication for all user interactions with the application to reduce risk from user-interaction-dependent attacks.
