Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-31979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL Software BigFix Service Management (SM). 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-2025-31979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-31979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-31979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-31979/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-31979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hj7g-h883-x979"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix SM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can upload malicious files like web shells by bypassing validation, leading to potential code execution on HCL BigFix SM.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"A File Upload Validation Bypass vulnerability has been identified in the HCL BigFix SM, where the application fails to properly enforce file type restrictions during the upload process.
