CVE-2025-0257

Unauthorized service access via unauthenticated Agent Relay

Published Apr 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

Missing authentication in HCL DevOps Deploy Agent Relay allows remote attackers to access other services or expose sensitive data. The relay accepts requests for relay-mediated services without enforcing authentication, but HCL has not disclosed the affected handler. Exploitation requires network reachability to an Agent Relay; no code execution or persistent modification is reported.
