CVE-2026-56585 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2026-07-21

HCL IntelliOps Event Management, a tool used for monitoring and managing IT infrastructure events, is missing a security configuration that prevents its interface from being embedded in other websites. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a legitimate user into visiting a malicious website that overlays the HCL interface, potentially leading the user to perform unintended actions. While this poses a risk to the integrity of user operations, it requires significant user interaction and does not directly expose sensitive data.

## Technical details

HCL IntelliOps Event Management (IEM) version 1.1 fails to implement the X-Frame-Options or Content-Security-Policy (frame-ancestors) HTTP response headers. This protection mechanism failure (CWE-693) allows the application's web interface to be rendered within an <iframe> on a third-party, attacker-controlled domain. By using transparent overlays, an attacker can conduct a clickjacking attack, inducing a logged-in user to click on UI elements they did not intend to, potentially leading to unauthorized configuration changes or state modifications. The attack requires the victim to be authenticated to IEM and to interact with a malicious webpage.
