Discussion

HP OpenView Network Node Manager 'nnmRptConfig.exe' Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

HP OpenView Network Node Manager is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the 'nnmRptConfig.exe' CGI application fails to adequately validate user-supplied input.

Successful exploits can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the webserver. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

OpenView Network Node Manager 7.51 and 7.53 are vulnerable.

NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 50471 (HP OpenView Network Node Manager Multiple Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
