MITRE ATT&CK
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. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) specifies that exploitation is network-accessible and requires no authentication or user interaction, but demands high attack complexity - meaning specific conditions such as a particular application state, timing constraint, or protocol configuration must be met that are non-trivial to reproduce reliably. The description references 'host environment' as the information source, suggesting leaked data may include system-level details such as paths, hostnames, or version strings. No specific feature toggle, non-default configuration, or platform restriction is named in available data as a hard prerequisite. Exploitation is concretely limited by the AC:H requirement, which significantly narrows the realistic attacker pool to those who can reliably engineer the required preconditions. No user interaction is required once the complexity condition is satisfied. |
| Impact | The CVSS score of 3.7 (Low) is internally consistent: the high attack complexity (AC:H) substantially suppresses real-world exploitability compared to a straightforward unauthenticated flaw, and the impact is limited to low confidentiality disclosure with no integrity or availability consequences. No EPSS probability was supplied in available data, preventing quantitative exploitation likelihood assessment. There is no CISA KEV listing and no known public proof-of-concept, leaving exploitation status as unconfirmed. The primary real-world concern is reconnaissance value - successfully exploiting this gives an attacker host environment details that can inform follow-on attacks, not direct system compromise. The high AC:H barrier means only sophisticated or patient attackers are likely to succeed, making this a low-priority remediation item for most organizations. No conflicting signals exist between CVSS and the description, though the absence of EPSS data and a precise fix version leaves the overall picture partially incomplete. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker without credentials sends specially crafted network requests to an internet- or intranet-accessible HCL Hive instance, timing or structuring them to satisfy the high attack complexity requirement. The application responds with or inadvertently leaks sensitive host environment details - such as internal paths, software versions, or configuration values - which the attacker records to refine subsequent targeted attacks against the host. No public exploit code is known at time of analysis, making opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 25, 2026
HCL Hive exposes sensitive host environment information through a network-accessible information disclosure flaw, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers - under high attack complexity conditions - to collect reconnaissance data about the underlying system. The CVSS 3.7 (Low) score reflects both the constrained confidentiality impact and the high exploitation complexity. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Consult the HCL Software support knowledge base article KB0133342 at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0133342 for vendor-specific patch guidance; no exact fix version has been independently confirmed from the available input data, so patch status should be treated as 'patch available per vendor advisory' pending verification. As a compensating control, restrict network access to HCL Hive interfaces to trusted internal network segments or authenticated VPN endpoints, which directly reduces the attack surface for unauthenticated network-based information disclosure. Given the high attack complexity requirement, network segmentation will meaningfully reduce real-world exploitability. Trade-off: restricting network access may impact legitimate remote users or integrations that depend on direct Hive connectivity.

Technical ContextAI · show details
HCL Hive is an enterprise software product from HCL Software, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:hcl_software:hive:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with a wildcard version field indicating no specific version bound has been published. The root cause class is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), where the application inadvertently surfaces data - in this case host environment details such as system paths, version strings, or configuration metadata - to parties not authorized to receive it. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N confirms the exposure is network-reachable, requires no authentication or user interaction, but demands high attack complexity to trigger, with impact isolated to a low-severity confidentiality breach within the vulnerable system only.
