Credential disclosure via basic authorization tokens
Published May 14, 2026 · Updated May 14, 2026
Insufficient credential protection in HCL AION 2.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to obtain basic authorization tokens. HCL identifies Basic Authorization tokens as the exposed credential mechanism but does not disclose the affected endpoint, token-handling path, or whether exposure occurs in storage or transit. Exploitation requires an adjacent-network position, low-privileged access, and user interaction; the documented impact is limited to credential disclosure.
