Technical details
HCL DFXServer versions 2.5 and below are vulnerable to inadequate encryption strength (CWE-326) because the application permits communication over unencrypted HTTP. A remote attacker positioned on the network path between the user and the server can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack to intercept cleartext traffic. This can lead to the exposure of sensitive data, session tokens, or credentials. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network with no prior authentication required, though it typically requires user interaction (such as a user initiating a connection). HCL has addressed this in their security advisory KB0131782.
