Password guessing exposure via undisclosed password requirements
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Weak password requirements in HCL MyCloud 10.8.2 allow remote authenticated users to expose accounts to brute-force and credential-based attacks. HCL has not disclosed the deficient password rule, configuration field, or enforcement logic, so the exact wrong operation remains unknown. Network access and an authenticated account are required; HCL reports limited availability impact, while NVD instead reports confidentiality impact.
