Summary

The RMI service in HP Network Automation Software 9.1x, 9.2x, 10.0x before 10.00.02.01, and 10.1x before 10.11.00.01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted serialized Java object, related to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) and Commons BeanUtils libraries.

descriptionThe HP Network Automation application running on the remote host is version 9.1x, 9.2x, 10.00.x prior to 10.00.02.01, 10.10.x, or 10.11.x prior to 10.11.00.01. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the RMI registry due to unsafe deserialize calls of unauthenticated Java objects to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary code on the target host.
