Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-42181 is a cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability (CWE-319) affecting HCL MyXalytics. The application transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext over a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors. This issue was published on 2025-01-12 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 1.6 (AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), indicating low severity due to its restrictive requirements.
Exploitation requires physical access (AV:P) to the system, high attack complexity (AC:H), and high privileges (PR:H), with no user interaction needed (UI:N). Successful attackers can achieve low-impact confidentiality disclosure (C:L), such as sniffing sensitive data transmitted in cleartext, but with no impact on integrity or availability and unchanged scope (S:U).
The HCL support knowledge base article at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0118149 provides further details on this vulnerability, including potential mitigation guidance.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-8 directly requires protecting confidentiality of transmitted information, which structurally eliminates cleartext transmission of sensitive data.

Specifying encryption and other security technology for network services prevents transmission of sensitive information in cleartext over potentially untrusted channels.
Mandating cryptographic protection and stronger authentication on public networks stops the transmission of plaintext sensitive information.
Specifying communications-security requirements and secure remote-access methods (including encryption expectations) prevents the transmission of sensitive data in cleartext over home or public networks.
Armoured conduits, electromagnetic shielding and locked enclosures make passive eavesdropping on unencrypted traffic traversing the cables more difficult, mitigating exposure of sensitive data in transit.
