Account compromise via weak password requirements
Published Oct 19, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024
Weak password requirements in HCL Compass 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 allow remote attackers to guess passwords and access user accounts. HCL has not disclosed which password-policy control accepts weak credentials or how its validation fails. Exploitation requires network reachability and user interaction, with reported impact limited to compromised-account confidentiality and integrity.
