An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-42189 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL 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-2024-42189/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42189/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42189","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42189/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42189","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-37j4-mqr6-6m6x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix Web Reports","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service in HCL BigFix Web Reports by exploiting weak validation of an API parameter.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_platform","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":5.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1287","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input"}],"description":"HCL BigFix Web Reports might be subject to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, due to a potentially weak validation of an API parameter.","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 Web Reports might be subject to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack","id":"CVE-2024-42189","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL Traveler for Microsoft Outlook (HTMO) is susceptible to DLL hijacking","id":"CVE-2024-42190"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL Connections is vulnerable to a broken access control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42188"},"products":["HCL BigFix Platform"],"published":"2025-04-15","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-15","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service in HCL BigFix Web Reports by exploiting weak validation of an API parameter.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42189/"}
