CVE-2025-31952Network attack vector

Persistent unauthorized access via nonexpiring tokens

Published Jul 24, 2025 · Updated Jul 25, 2025

Insufficient session expiration in HCL iAutomate 6.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to retain unauthorized access through stale tokens. Issued session tokens remain valid indefinitely instead of expiring automatically, and only manual revocation invalidates them. A user must first obtain a valid token, after which continued token use can expose protected data and disrupt service without further interaction.
