CVE-2024-42181

Sensitive-data disclosure via cleartext communication channel

Published Jan 12, 2025 · Updated Jan 13, 2025

Cleartext transmission in HCL Software MyXalytics 6.3 allows physically proximate attackers to read sensitive data from traffic. HCL has not disclosed the affected communication channel or the code path that sends security-critical data without transport protection. Exploitation requires physical access, high privileges, and the ability to capture that traffic; reported impact is limited to data exposure.
