Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2011-11-10
Patch Published: 2011-11-10
CVE [?]: CVE-2012-4361
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:hp:san/iq

Synopsis

A management service on the remote host has a command injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of SAN/iQ running on the remote host has a command injection vulnerability. The hydra service, used for remote management and configuration, does not properly sanitize untrusted input. A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands as root. Authentication is required, but can be bypassed easily by using default, hard-coded credentials.

Solution

Upgrade to HP SAN/iQ 9.5 or later.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): 13838
Target Asset(s): Services/hydra_saniq
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the HP SAN/iQ < 9.5 Root Shell Command Injection vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/multi/misc/hp_vsa_exec
[HP StorageWorks P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance Command Execution]
Exploit-DB: exploits/hardware/remote/18893.py
