CVE-2026-66987 Details
Description
HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where the account lockout mechanism did not sufficiently restrict repeated failed login attempts, allowing an attacker to make a large number of password guesses against a user account. This may increase the risk of account compromise through brute-force attacks, potentially resulting in unintended behavior or security impact under certain conditions.
A vulnerability exists in HCL AION version 2.7.0, where the account lockout mechanism fails to adequately limit repeated failed login attempts. This flaw enables an attacker to make numerous password guesses against a user account, increasing the risk of account compromise through brute-force attacks. Such an exploitation could lead to unintended behavior or security issues under certain conditions.
Users can upgrade to HCL AION version 2.8.0, which addresses this vulnerability. For assistance with the upgrade process, customers can contact the HCL AION support team.
