CWE-22Published: January 3, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

HCL DRYiCE MyXalytics is impacted by path traversal arbitrary file read vulnerability because it uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory. The product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Potential exploits can completely disrupt or take over the application.

Risk Analysis

HCL DRYiCE MyXalytics is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing unauthorized arbitrary file reads. An attacker can exploit this to access sensitive data outside of the intended directory, potentially leading to a full application compromise.

There is no public exploit known, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.

Recommended Action

Upgrade to the latest version of HCL DRYiCE MyXalytics. Ensure that the application properly sanitizes all user-supplied input used in file path construction.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2023-45722 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
