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-2022-42451 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software BigFix Patch Management. 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-2022-42451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42451/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42451/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42451","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8qv9-jc88-jwmh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Patch Management Software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local privileged users can access insecurely stored credentials in HCL BigFix Patch Management Download Plug-ins.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_patch_management","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"Certain credentials within the BigFix Patch Management Download Plug-ins are stored insecurely and could be exposed to a local privileged user.","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 Patch Management is vulnerable to insecurely stored credentials","id":"CVE-2022-42451","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in HCL Launch","id":"CVE-2022-42452"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL Domino Volt is affected by Cross-site scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-42450"},"products":["BigFix Patch Management"],"published":"2023-10-11","related":[],"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":"2024-10-29","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Local privileged users can access insecurely stored credentials in HCL BigFix Patch Management Download Plug-ins.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42451/"}
