Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
HCL DRYiCE AEX is potentially impacted by disclosure of sensitive information in the mobile application when a snapshot is taken.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

HCL DRYiCE AEX mobile application fails to properly protect sensitive information from being disclosed when a user takes a snapshot or screenshot of the app. This is a common mobile vulnerability where the app does not implement screen capture protection controls (such as FLAG_SECURE on Android), allowing sensitive data displayed in the app to be captured in device screenshots.

MitigationImplement proper screen capture protection mechanisms in the mobile application - on Android this involves setting FLAG_SECURE on sensitive windows/activities, and on iOS ensuring proper snapshot handling to prevent sensitive data exposure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if HCL DRYiCE AEX mobile app is installed
    On Android: Run 'adb shell pm list packages | grep -i dryice' or check app settings. On iOS: Check installed apps list for 'AEX' or 'Dryice'
    Affected if The HCL DRYiCE AEX mobile application is present on any managed mobile device
  2. Verify the installed version is 10.0
    On Android: Run 'adb shell dumpsys package com.hcl.dryice.aex' and check versionName/versionCode. On iOS: Check app version in the App Store or device settings
    Affected if The installed version equals 10.0 exactly (version 10.0 is affected)
  3. Confirm lack of screen capture protection on Android
    Attempt to take a screenshot while the AEX app is displayed - if the screenshot captures the app content without being blocked, the vulnerability is present. Alternatively, decompile the APK and check if FLAG_SECURE is set on sensitive activities in the AndroidManifest.xml
    Affected if Screenshots of the app can be taken freely without the app blocking them, indicating FLAG_SECURE is not implemented

A user is affected if they have HCL DRYiCE AEX version 10.0 installed on any mobile device and can capture screenshots of sensitive app content.
