Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-42188 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software Connections. 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-2024-42188/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42188/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42188","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42188/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42188","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fqv9-jjgw-rj7w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL Connections","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unauthorized user can update data in HCL Connections due to broken access control, requiring administrators to apply vendor patches.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"connections","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"HCL Connections is vulnerable to a broken access control vulnerability that may allow an unauthorized user to update data in certain scenarios.","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 Connections is vulnerable to a broken access control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42188","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Web Reports might be subject to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack","id":"CVE-2024-42189"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Patch Download Plug-ins are affected by path traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42187"},"products":["Connections"],"published":"2024-11-14","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in \"HCL Connections\"","id":"CVE-2020-4085","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Open redirect in HCL Connections","id":"CVE-2019-4209","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-01"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"HCL Connections s vulnerable to possible denial of service for certain users","id":"CVE-2023-28018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-12"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in \"HCL Connections\"","id":"CVE-2020-4083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-05"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"HCL Connections is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2026-21788","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-19"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"HCL Connections is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-30112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-25"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"HCL Connections is vulnerable to cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2023-28017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-07"}],"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":"2024-11-14","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"An unauthorized user can update data in HCL Connections due to broken access control, requiring administrators to apply vendor patches.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42188/"}
