Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38655 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software BigFix WebUI. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38655/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38655/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38655","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38655/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38655","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p6cr-3vwp-qgx2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix WebUI","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Non-master operators can modify or deploy fixlets due to missing permission checks, allowing unauthorized changes to system configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_webui","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"BigFix WebUI non-master operators are missing controls that prevent them from being able to modify the relevance of fixlets or to deploy fixlets from the BES Support external site.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"HCL BigFix WebUI is affected by a missing-permission-check vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38655","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL Commerce, when using Elasticsearch, could be affected by a denial of service vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38656"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL Domino is susceptible to an information disclosure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38654"},"products":["BigFix WebUI"],"published":"2022-12-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"HCL BigFix WebUI Cookie missing attributes","id":"CVE-2021-27764","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-06"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"BigFix WebUI is vulnerable to use of a risky cryptographic algorithm","id":"CVE-2023-28021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"An SQL injection affects BigFix WebUI API","id":"CVE-2023-28019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in HCL BigFix WebUI","id":"CVE-2020-4104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-17"},{"cvss_score":4.9,"headline":"HCL BigFix WebUI Software Distribution is affected by a cross site server request forgery vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28023","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"},{"cvss_score":4.7,"headline":"URL redirection affects BigFix WebUI","id":"CVE-2023-28020","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-16","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Non-master operators can modify or deploy fixlets due to missing permission checks, allowing unauthorized changes to system configurations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38655/"}
