HP Systems Insight Manager Namazu lang Parameter Traversal Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20893

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI script that is affected by a directory traversal flaw.

Description

The remote host appears to be running HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), a unified infrastructure management tool.

The version of HP SIM on the remote host includes a version of the search engine Namazu that reportedly fails to validate user input to the 'lang' parameter of the 'namazucgi' script. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to access files on the remote host via directory traversal.

Solution

Update HP SIM's .namazurc configuration file according to the vendor advisory.
