CVE-2026-21785Network attack vector

Unauthorized resource loading via incomplete CSP directives

Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026

Content Security Policy weakness in HCL BigFix Remote Control Server 10.1.0.0442 and earlier allows attackers to load unauthorized WebUI resources. The WebUI emits a CSP that omits directives without fallback coverage, so browsers accept resource types that the policy does not constrain. Exploitation requires high-privileged network access and user interaction; the published impact is limited to low confidentiality and integrity effects.
