Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

HP TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) and TippingPoint Virtual Security Management System (vSMS) before 4.1 patch 3 and 4.2 before patch 1 do not require authentication for JBoss RMI requests, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by (1) uploading this code within an archive or (2) instantiating a class.

Risk Assessment

The lack of authentication for RMI requests poses a serious risk to organizations, allowing remote attackers to execute code, potentially leading to system takeover.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update systems to versions after patches 4.1 patch 3 and 4.2 patch 1 to mitigate this vulnerability and to implement additional authentication mechanisms for RMI requests.
