Unauthenticated administrator-function access via missing authorization checks
Published Aug 3, 2026 · Updated Aug 3, 2026
Missing access control in HCL iControl 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to view administrator-level functionality over a network. HCL has not identified the affected request handler or disclosed how it omits granular authorization checks before returning privileged functions. No credentials or user interaction are required, but exploitation has high complexity and is limited to confidentiality impact.
