Summary
HCL AION from HCL Software contains an open redirect flaw in the session-handling logic of its GenAI web interface. The UserContext component redirects to the login page using a URL taken from build configuration (NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGIN_URL) without validating the destination, which makes it a URL redirection to an untrusted site (CWE-601). Attackers can use this in phishing attacks. The flaw may cause unintended behavior or security impact under certain conditions, and CISA's KEV catalog does not list it as exploited.

Description from the CNA
HCL AION is affected by an open redirect vulnerability in the session-handling logic of the GenAI web interface (UserContext component, line 89). A second redirect to the login page in this component used a URL taken from build configuration (NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGIN_URL) without validating the redirect destination. This may be used in phishing attacks, potentially resulting in unintended behavior or security impact under certain conditions.
