Technical details
HCL DFXAnalytics fails to implement the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) policy in its web responses. This missing 'Strict-Transport-Security' header allows a remote attacker with network access to perform a protocol downgrade attack (SSL stripping). By forcing the application to communicate over unencrypted HTTP, the attacker can conduct man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks to intercept or modify traffic. The vulnerability is present in version 3.0 and below and requires the attacker to be in a position to intercept network traffic. Remediation involves configuring the web server to include the HSTS header in all responses.
