Synopsis

A web application on the remote host has an arbitrary file download vulnerability.

Description

The version of HP SiteScope hosted on the remote web server has an arbitrary file download vulnerability. The application hosts a web service that allows the getFileInternal() method to be invoked without authentication. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to download arbitrary files.

This software has other unpatched vulnerabilities, though Nessus has not checked for those issues.

Solution

For versions 11.10, 11.11, and 11.12, upgrade to SiteScope 11.13. After upgrading, disable the vulnerable API by adding '_disableOldAPIs=true' to the master.config file.

For version 11.20, contact HP Software Support Online for patches.
