CVE-2025-52626

Local command execution via undisclosed input handling

Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026

OS command injection in HCL AION 2.0 allows local users with low privileges to execute unintended commands on the underlying system. HCL's public record does not identify the affected component, input field, or command-building operation that fails to neutralize shell elements. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and high-complexity conditions; successful commands run in the affected AION process context.
