CVE-2025-55264
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 Aftermarket DPC is affected by Failure to Invalidate Session on Password Change will allow attacker to access to a session, then they can maintain control over the account despite the password change leading to account takeover.
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 Aftermarket DPC fails to invalidate existing user sessions when a password is changed. An attacker with a compromised session token can maintain persistent access to the user's account even after the legitimate user changes their password, leading to account takeover.

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 installed product versionCheck the Hcltech Aftermarket Cloud installation for the exact version number. This is typically found in the product's about page, system information, or version file. Compare against the affected version 1.0.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.0.0 exactly (exact match per the affected versions list).
-
Confirm password change capability existsLocate the password change or account settings functionality within the Hcl Aftermarket DPC interface. Verify that users can change their password through the application.Affected if The password change feature is available and enabled for user accounts.
-
Test session persistence after password changeLog in to the application to establish a valid session, then change the password using the password change functionality. After the password change, attempt to perform actions using the previously established session token without re-authenticating.Affected if The original session remains active and functional after the password has been changed, allowing continued access without re-authentication.
-
Inspect session management configurationIf you have administrative access, review the session management settings or audit logs to determine whether the system terminates other active sessions when a password change occurs.Affected if The system does not terminate existing sessions upon password change, or session invalidation is not configured for password change events.
A user is affected if they are running Hcltech Aftermarket Cloud version 1.0.0 and the system allows existing sessions to remain valid after a password change, allowing continued access with old session credentials.

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 dataImplement proper session invalidation logic that terminates all active sessions associated with a user account when a password change occurs, in addition to the current session.
