DescriptionCVE.org

HCL Hive is affected by a broken access control vulnerability which could allow an attacker or unauthorized user to introduce unverified, malicious, or broken code directly into production environments.

AnalysisAI

Broken access control in HCL Hive 1.0 allows a high-privileged network attacker to bypass code verification gates and introduce unverified, malicious, or broken code directly into production environments. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact against the vulnerable system, contingent on high-privilege access. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires authenticated high-privilege access (PR:H per the CVSS vector) to HCL Hive 1.0 reachable over a network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 7.2 is calibrated by the PR:H requirement, which meaningfully narrows the attacker population to insiders, compromised administrator accounts, or lateral movers who have already achieved high privilege elsewhere in the environment. … 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 Organizations should immediately consult the HCL Software advisory at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0131731 for patch or upgrade instructions; an exact fixed version is not independently confirmed from the available reference data, so patch applicability must be verified directly with HCL. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all administrative user accounts with Hive 1.0 access, implement network segmentation to restrict Hive administration to dedicated jump hosts, and review recent deployment logs for unauthorized or suspicious activity. …
