CVE-2024-42172
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 · uneditedHCL MyXalytics is affected by broken authentication. It allows attackers to compromise keys, passwords, and session tokens, potentially leading to identity theft and system control. This vulnerability arises from poor configuration, logic errors, or software bugs and can affect any application with access control, including databases, network infrastructure, and web applications.
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 confidenceHCL MyXalytics contains a broken authentication vulnerability allowing attackers to compromise authentication credentials, session tokens, or keys. This could enable unauthorized access, identity theft, and potential full system control. The vulnerability stems from poor configuration, logic errors, or software bugs in the application's authentication mechanism.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed MyXalytics versionLocate the HCL MyXalytics or Dryice installation directory and check the version information file, product info in the admin console, or version stamp in the application binaries. Common locations include the About page in the web interface or a version.info file in the installation root.Affected if The installed version is exactly 6.3
-
Confirm the application is MyXalytics DryiceVerify the application name matches Hcltech Dryice Myxalytics by checking the product identification in the admin interface, banner information on login pages, or installation metadata.Affected if The product is Hcltech Dryice Myxalytics version 6.3
-
Check if web-based authentication is enabledDetermine whether the application's web interface with user authentication is accessible and enabled. This can be confirmed by attempting to access the login page or reviewing the service configuration for HTTP/HTTPS listeners.Affected if The web authentication interface is accessible and the application is version 6.3
-
Review authentication mechanism configurationExamine the application's configuration files or admin settings related to authentication, session management, and access control. Look for settings controlling login mechanisms, token generation, or session handling.Affected if Authentication configuration exists and the product version is 6.3
A user is affected if Hcltech Dryice Myxalytics version 6.3 is installed and the web-based authentication interface is accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataInvestigate and remediate the broken authentication mechanism in HCL MyXalytics by reviewing authentication logic, session management, and configuration settings. Implement proper authentication controls, secure session handling, and enforce strong credential protection policies.
