It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-23551 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software BigFix Compliance. 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-2024-23551/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-23551/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-23551","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-23551/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-23551","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gq6q-xcjf-vg2p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix Compliance","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can access plaintext database credentials stored on endpoints, leading to unauthorized data access and system compromise.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"Database scanning using username and password stores the credentials in plaintext or encoded format within files at the endpoint.
