Sid:
2548

--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a vulnerability associated with the web interface support for the HP JetAdmin printer.

--
Impact:
A successful attack may allow unauthorized files to be read or the injection  of a .hts script on a vulnerable server.

--
Detailed Information:
The HP Web JetAdmin provides a web interface for the administration of the HP Web JetAdmin printer.  A vulnerability exists that allows unauthorized files to be read or a .hts script to be executed.  This is caused when the /plugins/hpjdwm/script/test/setinfo.hts script is supplied a value to the setinclude parameter that represents an unauthorized file to be read outside the web root or represents a .hts file that will be executed with system privileges on the vulnerable server. 

--
Affected Systems:
HP Web JetAdmin 7.2.

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can execute the vulnerable script and supply a value to setinclude indicating an unauthorized file to be read or an .hts file to be executed.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. 

--
False Positives:
An authorized administrator who uses the setinclude parameter with the above script from a source IP outside of the trusted network will cause a false positive alert.

--
False Negatives:
The default HP Web JetAdmin port is 8000.  If an administrator selects a different port on which to run the web interface, no alert will be detected.  In that case, the rule should be altered to reflect the port on which the web interface runs.

--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to the latest non-affected version of the software or apply the appropriate patch when it becomes available.
