Sensitive-data disclosure via undisclosed weak cryptography
Published Oct 25, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Weak cryptography in HCL Traveler Companion before 12.0.0 allows physically proximate attackers to disclose sensitive data. The included MobileIron AppConnect SDK performs an unspecified weak cryptographic process; HCL has not disclosed the algorithm, key handling, or data path involved. Exploitation requires physical access and high privileges on the iOS device, and the documented impact is disclosure without data modification or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
