Synopsis

The power management application installed on the remote host has a cross-site request forgery vulnerability.

Description

HP Power Manager was detected on the remote host. All versions of this software reportedly have an unspecified cross-site request forgery vulnerability. The application does not attempt to validate user requests before performing them. It makes no distinction between user actions that are performed deliberately and unknowingly.

A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into making a malicious request, resulting in administrative access.
