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
Improper management of Content Security Policy in HCL BigFix Remote Control Lite Web Portal (versions 10.1.0.0326 and lower) may allow the execution of malicious code in web pages.

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 Remote Control Lite Web Portal versions 10.1.0.0326 and below has improper Content Security Policy management, allowing malicious code execution in web pages. This CSP misconfiguration permits scripts to execute from unauthorized sources, potentially enabling XSS attacks.

MitigationUpgrade to a version higher than 10.1.0.0326 once available, or implement proper CSP headers restricting script sources to trusted domains only.

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 installed HCL product
    Check if HCL DevOps Deploy or HCL Launch is installed by looking for their installation directories, services, or process executables. Common paths: /opt/HCL/ for Linux, C:\Program Files\HCL\ for Windows
    Affected if Either HCL DevOps Deploy or HCL Launch is installed
  2. Determine installed version of HCL DevOps Deploy
    Run the product's version command or check version files in the installation directory. For DevOps Deploy, check the version info in the UI or version.properties file in the installation directory
    Affected if Version is >= 8.0.0.0 and < 8.0.1.11, or >= 8.1.0 and < 8.1.2.4
  3. Determine installed version of HCL Launch
    Run the product's version command or check version files in the installation directory. For HCL Launch, check the version info in the UI or version.info file in the installation directory
    Affected if Version is >= 7.3.0.0 and < 7.3.2.16
  4. Inspect CSP headers on web portal
    Access the web portal login page and use browser dev tools or a tool like curl to view HTTP response headers. Look for Content-Security-Policy header and examine script-src directives
    Affected if CSP header allows scripts from untrusted sources or uses unsafe-inline/unsafe-eval in script-src directive
  5. Check if web portal is exposed
    Verify if the web interface is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS. Check network configuration and listening ports (typically 8443, 8080, or 9443 for HCL products)
    Affected if Web portal is externally accessible and CSP is misconfigured

You are affected if you have HCL DevOps Deploy (versions 8.0.0.0-8.0.1.11 or 8.1.0-8.1.2.4) or HCL Launch (versions 7.3.0.0-7.3.2.16) installed with their web portals having improper CSP configuration.
