CVE-2021-27748 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in HCL Digital Experience, including on-premises and container deployments. Proxy functionality could make server-side requests through configured outbound connections. Restricted destination policies could be bypassed by chaining requests through an open redirect on an allowlisted external service, causing the Digital Experience server to request attacker-selected arbitrary URLs. The issue affects Portal proxy functionality and was addressed through HCL maintenance and removal of the relevant outbound HTTP connection configuration.

A server-side request forgery vulnerability in HCL WebSphere Portal (now HCL Digital Experience) proxy functionality. Restricted default proxy routes can follow a Lotus Domino open redirect, converting an allowlisted-origin SSRF into arbitrary URL access; other identified proxy routes permit broader pre-auth SSRF, including full response reads and, for one route, multiple HTTP methods and request bodies.
A CVE identifier listed as not found in NVD; no vulnerability details are provided in the content.
An SSRF vulnerability in HCL WebSphere Portal (HCL Digital Experience) proxy functionality. Restricted proxy routes can be converted into arbitrary-request SSRF through a Lotus Domino RedirectTo open-redirect chain; other identified proxy routes allow more direct full-read SSRF and, in one case, arbitrary HTTP methods and request bodies.
