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 DevOps Deploy / HCL Launch is susceptible to sensitive information disclosure.  The application stores potentially sensitive information in log files that could be read by a local user.

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 DevOps Deploy and HCL Launch store potentially sensitive information in log files that are accessible to local users, allowing an attacker with local access to read sensitive data that should be protected.

MitigationRestrict file system permissions on log directories to prevent unauthorized local user access, and implement log sanitization to prevent sensitive data from being written to logs.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 DevOps Deploy version
    Run 'productInfo.bat' or 'productInfo.sh' from the install directory, or check the 'about' page in the web UI. On Windows, also check Add/Remove Programs for version details.
    Affected if The installed version is >= 8.0.0.0 and < 8.0.1.14, OR >= 8.1.0.0 and < 8.1.2.7, OR >= 8.2.0.0 and < 8.2.2.0
  2. Identify installed HCL Launch version
    Run 'productInfo.bat' or 'productInfo.sh' from the install directory, or check the 'about' page in the web UI. On Windows, also check Add/Remove Programs for version details.
    Affected if The installed version is >= 7.3.0.0 and < 7.3.2.19
  3. Locate log directories for the product
    Check the 'logs' subdirectory within the product installation folder, commonly found under <install_dir>/server/logs or <install_dir>/var/log. Also check the 'var/logs' directory if it exists.
    Affected if Log directories exist and contain log files from the product.
  4. Check file permissions on log directories
    On Linux/Unix, use 'ls -la <log_dir>' to list permissions. Verify that permissions restrict read access to only the service account and authorized administrators, not to all local users.
    Affected if Log directories are readable by all users or have overly permissive access rights (e.g., world-readable or group-readable by untrusted groups).

A user is affected if they have HCL DevOps Deploy (versions 8.0.0.0-8.0.1.13, 8.1.0.0-8.1.2.6, or 8.2.0.0-8.2.1.x) or HCL Launch (versions 7.3.0.0-7.3.2.18) installed AND log directories are accessible to unauthorized local users.

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.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 7.3.2.19 / 8.0.1.14 / 8.1.2.7 or later
Fixed in 7.3.2.198.0.1.148.1.2.7
Interim mitigation

Restrict file system permissions on log directories to prevent unauthorized local user access, and implement log sanitization to prevent sensitive data from being written to logs.

Recommended fix High confidence

HCL DevOps Deploy 8.0.1.14, 8.1.2.7, or 8.2.2.0 (depending on your current branch); HCL Launch 7.3.2.19

  1. Identify the currently installed HCL DevOps Deploy or HCL Launch version using the product's version information
  2. For HCL DevOps Deploy: If running 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.1.13, upgrade to 8.0.1.14 or later
  3. For HCL DevOps Deploy: If running 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.2.6, upgrade to 8.1.2.7 or later
  4. For HCL DevOps Deploy: If running 8.2.0.0 through 8.2.1.x, upgrade to 8.2.2.0 or later
  5. For HCL Launch: If running 7.3.0.0 through 7.3.2.18, upgrade to 7.3.2.19 or later
  6. After upgrading, review log files to ensure sensitive information is no longer being written to logs
  7. Verify the fix by confirming log files no longer contain the sensitive data patterns that were previously exposed
Caveat Standard upgrade considerations apply - review HCL release notes for your version path for any compatibility or migration requirements
