Credential exposure in HCL BigFix Platform 9.5 through 9.5.24, 10 through 10.0.11, and 11.0.1 allows local users to steal credentials. The Windows Client Deploy Tool leaves administrative credentials observable through Task Manager, although HCL has not disclosed the specific process field or exposure duration. Exploitation requires high local privileges and grants unauthorized access to the tool's remote deployment authority.
