CVE-2024-42174Network attack vector

Unauthenticated username enumeration via response discrepancy

Published Jan 11, 2025 · Updated Jan 13, 2025

Observable response discrepancy in HCL Software MyXalytics 6.3 allows remote attackers to enumerate valid application usernames. The public advisory does not identify the affected login or account-recovery endpoint, but states that responses differ enough to distinguish valid usernames. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful probing discloses only which application usernames are valid.
