HPE Smart Storage Administrator < 2.60.18.0 RCE

high Nessus Plugin ID 97859

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of HPE Smart Storage Administrator installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.60.18.0. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in function isDirectFileAccess() in file ipcelmclient.php due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'command' variable. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted HTTP request, to execute arbitrary code on the system.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to HPE Smart Storage Administrator version 2.60.18.0 or later.
