HP OpenView Network Node Manager Multiple Remote Command Execution Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for multiple remote command execution vulnerabilities in HP OpenView Network Node Manager

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a CGI script that permits execution of
arbitrary commands.

Description :

The remote version of HP OpenView Network Node Manager fails to
sanitize user-supplied input to various parameters used in the
'cdpView.ovpl', 'connectedNotes.ovpl', 'ecscmg.ovpl', and
'freeIPaddrs.ovpl' scripts before using it to run a command. By
leveraging these flaws, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to
execute arbitrary commands on the remote host within the context of
the affected web server userid.
