Cross-origin data exposure via missing headers
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Cross-origin policy weakness in HCL IntelliOps Event Management 1.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to expose data via browser-mediated cross-origin requests. HCL has disclosed only that affected HTTP responses omit or misconfigure cross-origin security headers, weakening browser origin enforcement; it has not identified the exact headers or endpoints involved. The CNA vector requires high privileges and user interaction, so exposure depends on an authenticated workflow that causes a browser to issue the cross-origin request, with published impact limited to low-severity confidentiality and integrity effects.
