Description

HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by a Missing Secure Attribute in Encrypted Session (SSL) Cookie vulnerability. The application fails to set the "secure" attribute on session cookies generated during authentication, which could allow a remote attacker to intercept network traffic and capture sensitive cookies, session tokens, or credentials sent in cleartext over unencrypted channels.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
