Technical details

HCL Aftermarket EPC version 1.0.0 is affected by an information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200) where the web server reveals its software version in HTTP response headers or error pages. This is a passive reconnaissance vulnerability reachable over the network without authentication. By identifying the exact version of the underlying server software, an attacker can cross-reference known CVEs for that specific version to facilitate further exploitation. The vulnerability is addressed in HCL's security bulletin KB0132294.
