CVE-2025-52625
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 · uneditedA vulnerability Cacheable SSL Page Found vulnerability has been identified in HCL AION. Cached data may expose credentials, system identifiers, or internal file paths to attackers with access to the device or browser This issue affects AION: 2.0.
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 confidenceSSL pages in HCL AION 2.0 are being cached by browsers or proxies when they should not be, exposing sensitive data such as credentials, system identifiers, and internal file paths. This occurs due to missing or improper HTTP cache-control headers on SSL responses containing sensitive information.

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.
-
Verify HCL AION 2.0.0 is installedCheck the installed version of HCL AION in your environment. This may be visible in the product's About section, installation directory, or version file. Compare your version to 2.0.0.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.0.0 and the web interface is accessible over HTTPS.
-
Identify SSL-enabled endpointsAccess the HCL AION web interface over HTTPS (typically port 443 or configured SSL port). Identify endpoints that handle authentication (login pages) or sensitive data (admin panels, configuration pages, file upload/download paths).Affected if The server responds to HTTPS requests on any port.
-
Inspect Cache-Control headers on sensitive responsesUse a browser developer tool, curl with -I flag, or a network proxy to capture HTTP response headers when accessing SSL pages containing credentials, session tokens, or internal paths. Specifically examine the Cache-Control header in the response.Affected if The Cache-Control header is missing, or is set to a caching-permissive value (such as 'public', 'max-age', or absent entirely) on SSL responses containing sensitive data.
-
Check for no-store directiveFor each sensitive SSL endpoint identified, verify whether the Cache-Control header contains 'no-store', 'no-cache', or 'private' directives. These are required to prevent caching of sensitive data.Affected if The Cache-Control header does not contain at least one of 'no-store', 'no-cache', or 'private' for sensitive SSL responses.
You are affected if you are running HCL AION 2.0.0 with SSL/HTTPS enabled and the server returns sensitive data over SSL without proper Cache-Control headers containing no-store, no-cache, or private directives.

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 dataConfigure proper HTTP cache-control headers (no-store, no-cache, private) on all SSL responses containing sensitive data to prevent caching, and ensure the server is configured to not cache authentication and sensitive pages.
