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-2024-42197 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software Workload Scheduler. 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-2024-42197/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42197/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42197","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42197/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42197","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mrc3-hwpp-5wxw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Workload Scheduler","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read user credentials stored in plain text by HCL Workload Scheduler, leading to information disclosure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-256","name":"Plaintext Storage of a Password"}],"description":"HCL Workload Scheduler stores user credentials in plain text which can be read by a local 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 Workload Scheduler is vulnerable to plain text storage of a password","id":"CVE-2024-42197","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL BigFix Web Reports is potentially susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack","id":"CVE-2024-42200"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL Launch is susceptible to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42196"},"products":["Workload Scheduler"],"published":"2025-12-11","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2025-12-11","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"Local attackers can read user credentials stored in plain text by HCL Workload Scheduler, leading to information disclosure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42197/"}
