An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-42445 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Launch. 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-2022-42445/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42445/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42445","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42445/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42445","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pr65-g34w-29rj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL Launch","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators can recover saved LDAP search credentials, exposing sensitive authentication data to privileged users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"hcl_launch","vendor":"hcltechsw"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"HCL Launch could allow a user with administrative privileges, including \"Manage Security\" permissions, the ability to recover a credential previously saved for performing authenticated LDAP searches.","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 Launch is vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected LDAP Search Credentials (CVE-2022-42445)","id":"CVE-2022-42445","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL Sametime 12.0 and 12.0FP1 anonymous users have directory lookup access","id":"CVE-2022-42446"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM App Connect Enterprise denial of service","id":"CVE-2022-42444"},"products":["HCL Launch"],"published":"2022-11-28","related":[{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"HCL Launch is susceptible to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"HCL Launch Agent as a Windows service is vulnerable to a Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2023-45702","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-28"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"HCL Launch is susceptible to a Denial of Service vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-45703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-20"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"HCL Launch could allow an authenticated user to obtain sensitive information (CVE-2022-27551)","id":"CVE-2022-27551","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-03"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"HCL Launch is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-23348","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-10"},{"cvss_score":4.9,"headline":"HCL Launch is vulnerable to information disclosure which can be read by a local user.","id":"CVE-2022-27548","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-06"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-25","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Administrators can recover saved LDAP search credentials, exposing sensitive authentication data to privileged users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42445/"}
