HP OpenView Performance Insight Server Backdoor Account

high Nessus Plugin ID 51850

Language:

Synopsis

It is possible to log on the remote web application by using a hidden account.

Description

Nessus was able to log into the remote HP OpenView Performance Insight system using a hidden account. The 'hch908v' user, hard-coded in the 'com.trinagy.security.XMLUserManager' class, is hidden and has administrative privileges.

A remote attacker could exploit this by logging in as the hidden user and gain administrative access to the Performance Insight installation.

After gaining administrative access to the web application, escalation of privileges may be possible. Nessus has not checked for that issue.

Solution

Apply the hotfix referenced in the HP advisory.
