CVE-2025-31996Network attack vector

Sensitive file disclosure via missing access controls

Published Oct 13, 2025 · Updated Oct 13, 2025

Information disclosure in HCL Unica Platform 25.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read sensitive files over the network. Access controls leave unspecified files exposed to external parties; HCL has not published the affected paths or request-handling locus. No authentication is required, but exploitation requires user interaction and high-complexity conditions; the reported impact is read-only disclosure.
