It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38659 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software BigFix Platform. 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-2022-38659/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38659/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38659","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38659/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38659","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hp9j-r2qw-j3vw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix Platform","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Insecure credential storage in HCL BigFix Platform allows attackers to potentially decrypt operator credentials on Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_platform","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"}],"description":"In specific scenarios, on Windows the operator credentials may be encrypted in a manner that is not completely machine-dependent.","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 Platform is affected by insecure credential storage","id":"CVE-2022-38659","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL XPages applications are susceptible to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38660"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Server Automation (SA) is affected by a security vulnerability around Notification Service","id":"CVE-2022-38658"},"products":["BigFix Platform"],"published":"2022-12-17","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by insecure permissions on private cryptographic keys","id":"CVE-2026-21765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-01"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by Unathenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-37519","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by Unathenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-37520","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in HCL BigFix Inventory","id":"CVE-2020-14254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-16"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by insufficient warnings","id":"CVE-2022-42453","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-17"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform is susceptible to insufficiently protected credentials","id":"CVE-2024-23583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"HCL BigFix Platform Server API is affected by Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-06"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-17","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Insecure credential storage in HCL BigFix Platform allows attackers to potentially decrypt operator credentials on Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38659/"}
