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 BigFix Mobile 3.3 and earlier are vulnerable to certain insecure directives within the Content Security Policy (CSP). An attacker could trick users into performing actions by not properly restricting the sources of scripts and other content.

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 BigFix Mobile 3.3 and earlier versions contain a Content Security Policy (CSP) misconfiguration where insecure directives fail to properly restrict the sources of scripts and other content. This allows attackers to potentially inject malicious scripts or content from untrusted origins, leading to XSS or content injection attacks.

MitigationUpdate HCL BigFix Mobile to version 3.4 or later to receive the patched CSP configuration, or manually review and harden CSP headers to remove unsafe directives like 'unsafe-inline', 'unsafe-eval', or overly permissive wildcard sources.

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 the installed BigFix product and version
    Use your system's package manager, software inventory, or the BigFix admin console to determine whether HCL BigFix Mobile or BigFix Modern Client Management is installed, and note its exact version number.
    Affected if The installed version is BigFix Mobile at 3.3 or earlier, or BigFix Modern Client Management at any version below 3.4.
  2. Locate CSP configuration or response headers
    If you have access to the BigFix server or web interface logs, capture HTTP responses from the BigFix application using a browser dev tool or a proxy like Burp or curl, focusing on the Content-Security-Policy HTTP header.
    Affected if The application returns a Content-Security-Policy header that contains the CSP misconfiguration.
  3. Inspect for unsafe-inline or unsafe-eval directives
    Examine the CSP header value for the presence of 'unsafe-inline' or 'unsafe-eval' directives, which allow inline scripts or dynamic code execution from untrusted sources.
    Affected if The CSP header contains 'unsafe-inline' or 'unsafe-eval', which weakens script restrictions.
  4. Check for overly permissive source Allowlists
    Review the CSP header for wildcard sources (such as '*', '*.example.com', or overly broad domain patterns) in script-src, style-src, img-src, or other content directives.
    Affected if The CSP allows content from wildcard or untrusted domains, enabling injection from arbitrary origins.

You are affected if BigFix Mobile is at version 3.3 or earlier (or Modern Client Management is below 3.4) AND the CSP header contains insecure directives like unsafe-inline, unsafe-eval, or overly permissive source Allowlists.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.4 or later
Fixed in 3.4
Interim mitigation

Update HCL BigFix Mobile to version 3.4 or later to receive the patched CSP configuration, or manually review and harden CSP headers to remove unsafe directives like 'unsafe-inline', 'unsafe-eval', or overly permissive wildcard sources.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

BigFix Mobile: 3.4 or later | BigFix Modern Client Management: 3.4 or later

  1. 1. Identify the current BigFix Mobile and/or BigFix Modern Client Management version in your environment
  2. 2. Access HCL support portal at support.hcl-software.com to obtain the version 3.4 or later installation packages
  3. 3. Review HCL BigFix upgrade documentation for your specific product
  4. 4. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
  5. 5. Backup current configuration and database as recommended in HCL documentation
  6. 6. Install BigFix Mobile version 3.4 or later, or BigFix Modern Client Management version 3.4 or later
  7. 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the product version
  8. 8. Validate that CSP headers are now properly configured by reviewing server responses
