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-2024-42208 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL 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-2024-42208/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42208/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42208","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42208/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42208","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-436m-r88g-vhmq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL Connections","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can obtain sensitive information they are not entitled to due to improper handling of request data in HCL Connections.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"connections","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"HCL Connections is vulnerable to an information disclosure vulnerability which could allow a user to obtain sensitive information they are not entitled to, caused by improper handling of request data.","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 an information disclosure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42208","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 Connections is vulnerable to an information disclosure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42209"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HCL iAutomate is affected by a session fixation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42207"},"products":["HCL Connections"],"published":"2025-04-04","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":"2025-04-04","vendors":["HCL Software"]},"summary":"An attacker can obtain sensitive information they are not entitled to due to improper handling of request data in HCL Connections.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42208/"}
