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-2026-21765 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCLSoftware 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-2026-21765/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21765/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-21765","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21765/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-21765","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cwpc-gq4p-xxwh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL BigFix Platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read private cryptographic keys due to insecure file permissions on Windows hosts, potentially compromising security.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_platform","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"},{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"HCL BigFix Platform is affected by insecure permissions on private cryptographic keys.  The private cryptographic keys located on a Windows host machine might be subject to overly permissive file system permissions.","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 Platform is affected by insecure permissions on private cryptographic keys","id":"CVE-2026-21765","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HCL Digital Experience and Digital Experience Compose insufficiently protects credentials","id":"CVE-2026-21766"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Insufficient Input Validation in DevOps Loop","id":"CVE-2026-21764"},"products":["BigFix Platform"],"published":"2026-04-01","related":[{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-02","vendors":["HCLSoftware"]},"summary":"Attackers can read private cryptographic keys due to insecure file permissions on Windows hosts, potentially compromising security.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-21765/"}
