Summary
HCL AION is affected by a missing encryption flaw in the WebSocket connection used by its GenAI web interface, which runs over unencrypted ws:// instead of encrypted wss://. An attacker on the network can remotely, without logging in, potentially intercept or read data sent over that connection, though the attack is difficult to carry out.

Read the original description
HCL AION is affected by a missing encryption vulnerability in the WebSocket connection set up by the GenAI web interface. The connection used the unencrypted WebSocket protocol (ws://localhost:8000) instead of an encrypted (wss://) channel. This may allow data exchanged over the connection to be intercepted or read by an attacker on the network, potentially resulting in unintended behavior or security impact under certain conditions.
