Overview
The HP Business Service Management (HPBSM) application contains a remote code execution vulnerability. Version 9.12 has been reported to be affected but other versions may also be affected.
Description
HPBSM uses the JBOSS application server. In the default configuration, HPBSM contains open ports that may be accessed by an unauthenticated attacker. The attacker can upload a jsp-shell as a .war file and have the JBOSS application server deploy it as a service. In the default configuration, this attacker shell will run with SYSTEM privileges. |
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker may be able to deploy a backdoor shell with SYSTEM privileges. |
Solution
We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Please consider the following workarounds. |
Restrict Access Implement appropriate firewall rules to block traffic from untrusted sources to TCP ports 4444, 1098, and 1099. |
