MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Impact The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege user account in HCL MyXalytics; unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the CVSS PR:L metric. The attacker must have access to an application input field that is not subject to server-side length validation. Impact is limited to availability degradation (A:L), with no confidentiality or integrity consequence. Limiting factors include: the requirement for a valid application account, the low severity of the resulting availability impact (partial degradation rather than full outage), and the need for repeated or sustained input submission to cause meaningful service disruption. No special non-default configuration is required beyond having user access to the application. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) scores this at 3.5 - Low - and the threat picture supports that rating. Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege user (PR:L), limiting the attacker pool to existing account holders. The availability impact is rated Low (A:L), indicating degraded rather than complete service disruption. No KEV listing, no public proof-of-concept, and no EPSS data suggesting significant exploitation probability are present. The UI:R metric in the vendor-supplied vector is atypical for a server-side input-flooding DoS - it likely reflects the attacker's own interaction with the input form rather than victim-user interaction - but does not meaningfully change the risk posture. Overall, this is a low-priority finding; it is a nuisance-class vulnerability requiring authenticated access and unlikely to cause catastrophic availability loss. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege user navigates to an input-accepting form or API endpoint within HCL MyXalytics and submits a payload containing an extremely large string - potentially tens of megabytes of character data - causing the backend to allocate and process excessive resources. Repeated submissions could degrade server performance and impact availability for other users. No public exploit code exists, and exploitation requires a valid application account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 07, 2026
HCL MyXalytics is susceptible to a low-severity denial-of-service condition via unrestricted character input in user-facing fields. Authenticated users can submit arbitrarily long strings into application inputs, potentially degrading system performance or availability due to absent input-length controls. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been observed; the vendor CVSS score of 3.5 (Low) reflects limited real-world impact.
RemediationAI
Apply the remediation or patch described in HCL's support advisory at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0132828. A specific fixed version number is not confirmed from the available data - customers should consult HCL directly for the patched release. As a compensating control while awaiting a patch, administrators can enforce server-side input-length limits via a web application firewall (WAF) rule that rejects or truncates requests exceeding a defined payload size; this adds a processing step but eliminates the unbounded allocation risk. Additionally, restricting application access to the minimum necessary user population reduces the pool of accounts that could trigger the condition, though it does not eliminate the underlying flaw. Rate-limiting authenticated API or form endpoints is a further mitigation with negligible functional trade-off for normal users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
HCL MyXalytics (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:hcl_software:myxalytics:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a business analytics and reporting platform developed by HCL Software. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling), which arises when an application does not enforce size or rate constraints on resource-consuming inputs. In this case, text input fields accept unbounded data, and the application processes this input without truncation or rejection, which can exhaust memory, CPU, or storage resources on the server and degrade service availability. The absence of server-side input length validation is the root cause.
