CVE-2025-62347: HCL iControl was affected by Improper Input Validation vulnerability.
HCL iControl was affected by Improper Input Validation vulnerability. It is vulnerable to unexpected system behavior and potential security bypasses. This was caused by an implementation flaw in an architectural security tactic that fails to properly validate whether the received input matches the expected type.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
HCL iControl versions 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 may accept input that does not match the expected type. A low-privileged remote user could potentially trigger unexpected behavior or bypass security checks, affecting data integrity. The published severity is medium, with no reported confidentiality or availability impact.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate, targeted remediation item. Promptly identify affected installations and follow HCL guidance, especially where low-privileged users can remotely access iControl. Current evidence does not justify emergency incident response unless local indicators suggest misuse.
Technical view
CVE-2025-62347 is a CWE-20 improper input validation flaw caused by an implementation failure in an architectural security control. CVSS 3.1 scores it 4.3: network-accessible, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and low integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to identified HCL iControl deployments running versions 4.3.0 or 4.4.0. Exploitation requires low privileges and network access to the vulnerable functionality. The source bundle lists other versions as unaffected by default but provides no deployment-specific reachability details.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not report active exploitation, and this CVE is not listed as KEV. The flaw may permit unexpected system behavior or security bypasses, but the available evidence does not describe a public exploit, observed attacks, or the precise vulnerable interface.
Researcher notes
The record identifies type-validation failure and integrity impact but does not disclose the affected input, component, request path, bypassed control, patch version, or detection indicators. Validate exposure conservatively without destructive testing and consult HCL KB0132395 for details unavailable in the CVE record.
Mitigation direction
Review HCL advisory KB0132395 for the vendor-approved remediation or upgrade guidance.
Inventory HCL iControl installations and prioritize versions 4.3.0 and 4.4.0.
Restrict vulnerable interfaces to trusted networks and authorized users where operationally feasible.
Review low-privileged accounts and remove access that is not required.
Validation and detection
Confirm installed HCL iControl versions against the affected version list.
Determine whether low-privileged users can reach the relevant iControl functionality over a network.
Review relevant logs for unexpected input handling or unexplained security-control bypasses.
After remediation, verify the installed version or configuration against current HCL guidance.

Improper Input Validation
Improper Input Validation represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
