Sensitive-data interception via unencrypted HTTP connections
Published Jul 16, 2026 · Updated Jul 16, 2026
Unencrypted communication in HCL DFX Server Solution 2.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to intercept sensitive data over HTTP. The server accepts client connections over plaintext HTTP instead of requiring an encrypted transport, leaving exchanged application traffic readable in transit. Exploitation requires a user to establish the insecure connection and an attacker able to observe or interpose on its network path; the disclosed impact is exposure of transmitted sensitive data.
