HCL BigFix Multiple Vulnerabilities Remote Attack CVSS 5.3
Summary
CERT-Bund issued security advisory WID-SEC-2026-1186 informing of multiple vulnerabilities in HCL BigFix endpoint management software. Affected versions are HCL BigFix Service Management prior to version 26.0 and prior to version 27, running on Linux, UNIX, and Windows operating systems. The vulnerabilities carry a CVSS Base Score of 5.3 (medium) and a Temporal Score of 4.6 (medium), with confirmed remote attack vector. An attacker can exploit these flaws to bypass security measures and disclose information.
“Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in HCL BigFix ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, und um Informationen offenzulegen.”
Organisations operating HCL BigFix Service Management should confirm whether their deployment version falls below 26.0 or 27 — the advisory identifies these as the at-risk thresholds. Given the confirmed remote attack vector and CVSS score indicating exploitable vulnerabilities, prioritising patch application or implementing compensating controls should be treated as an immediate security review task rather than a routine update cycle.

The vulnerabilities affect versions prior to 26.0 and prior to 27 across Linux, UNIX, and Windows platforms. With a CVSS Base Score of 5.3 (medium) and confirmed remote attack capability, organisations using this endpoint management solution should assess their exposure.
