CVE-2025-31970 is a medium-severity vulnerability in HCL DFXAnalytics that allows for potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to an insecure Content-Security-Policy configuration. Defenders should prioritize verifying the configuration and ensuring that object-src and base-uri directives are properly set to prevent potential attacks.

• Defenders need to verify the Content-Security-Policy configuration to prevent potential XSS attacks
• Insecure configuration could allow attackers to inject malicious content
• Defenders should prioritize verifying object-src and base-uri directives

Technical summary

The HCL DFXAnalytics product is affected by an insecure Content-Security-Policy configuration vulnerability. The policy does not define strict directives for object-src and base-uri, which could allow an attacker to exploit injection vectors such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The vulnerability has a medium severity level and defenders should assess their exposure and verify the Content-Security-Policy configuration to prevent potential attacks. The configuration should define strict directives for object-src and base-uri to prevent potential attacks.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying the Content-Security-Policy configuration and ensuring that object-src and base-uri directives are properly set.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify the Content-Security-Policy configuration in HCL DFXAnalytics
• Ensure that object-src and base-uri directives are properly set
• Monitor for potential XSS attacks
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
