HP OpenView Network Node Manager Multiple Scripts hostname Parameter Remote Command Execution

critical Nessus Plugin ID 43155

Synopsis

The remote web server contains multiple CGI scripts that allow execution of arbitrary commands.

Description

The remote version of HP OpenView Network Node Manager fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'hostname' parameter used in the 'setMon.ovpl', 'setNotMon.ovpl', and 'ifMgrp.ovpl' scripts before using it to run a command. By leveraging these flaws, an unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host within the context of the affected web server userid.

Note that the installed version of HP OpenView Network Node Manager is potentially affected by multiple other issues, though Nessus has not tested for these.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch referenced in the vendor's advisory above.
