Summary
The vulnerability in HCL BigFix Service Management (SM) involves insufficiently protected credentials for a short duration during communication with a backend internal application. This could allow an attacker to intercept and misuse them if exfiltrated.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that an attacker could capture credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized access to internal systems and organizational data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update HCL BigFix Service Management to the latest patched version and implement additional monitoring of backend communications to detect potential credential leaks.
Other vulnerabilities in HCL BigFix Service Management
See all- CVE-2026-56596Low
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability, which could allow an attacker to supply unexpected or malformed data, enabling processing errors, business logic bypasses, and unintended application behavior.
- CVE-2026-67101Critical
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in its search functionality, which could allow an attacker to force the application server to send requests to internal systems that are not accessible from the internet.
- CVE-2026-67100Critical
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by SQL Injection and Cross-Tenant Data Exposure vulnerabilities, which could allow an authenticated attacker to inject database commands to extract sensitive system details, as well as manipulate request values to gain unauthorized access to full personal profile data and PII across different organizations.
- CVE-2026-67172Low
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an Information Disclosure vulnerability where the application returns sensitive information in error messages when invalid inputs are sent to certain API endpoints. This information could enable an attacker to facilitate further attacks.
- CVE-2026-67171Medium
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an Information Disclosure vulnerability because an exposed API endpoint exposes sensitive internal database information. This information could enable an attacker to facilitate targeted database attacks.
- CVE-2025-31980Medium
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability, which could allow an attacker to inject unvalidated, malformed data into the application, enabling potential injection attacks or errors in downstream processing systems.
- CVE-2026-67106Medium
HCL BigFix Service Management has an information disclosure vulnerability because two exposed API endpoints return sensitive data, potentially enabling further serious attacks.
- CVE-2026-67105High
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an insecure communication vulnerability that allows an attacker with internal network access to intercept unencrypted HTTP traffic between backend services. This enables the extraction of sensitive data and potential man-in-the-middle attacks.
- CVE-2026-67104Medium
HCL BigFix Service Management has an information disclosure vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to analyze publicly accessible JavaScript files, enabling discovery of hidden administrative API endpoints.
- CVE-2026-56599Low
HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an Insecure Cookie Attribute Configuration vulnerability, which could allow an attacker to exploit missing security attributes such as SameSite, HttpOnly, Secure, and restrictive Paths, enabling Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), session hijacking via Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and unauthorized access.
Original NVD description (English source)
HCL BigFix Service Management (SM) is vulnerable to insufficiently protected credentials for a short duration while communicating with a backend, internal application which could allow an attacker to potentially misuse them, if exfiltrated. .
