HCL BigFix Web Reports' service communicates over HTTPS but exhibits a weakness in its handling of SSL certificate validation. This scenario presents a possibility of man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and data exposure as, if exploited, this vulnerability could potentially lead to unauthorized access.

Using the ability to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, which indicates a lack of hostname verification, sensitive account information was able to be intercepted. In this specific scenario, the application's network traffic was intercepted using a proxy server set up in 'transparent' mode while a certificate with an invalid hostname was active. The Android application was found to have hostname verification issues during the server setup and login flows; however, the application did not process requests post-login.

HCL AppScan Source <= 10.6.0 does not properly validate a TLS/SSL certificate for an executable.

HCL Digital Experience components Ring API and dxclient may be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks prior to 9.5 CF226. An attacker could intercept and potentially alter communication between two parties.

The HCL Traveler for Microsoft Outlook executable (HTMO.exe) is being flagged as potentially Malicious Software or an Unrecognized Application.
