  • Description
    A XSS vulnerability has been found within HP System Management; Arising
    from insufficient input filtering.
    By using a specially-crafted link, and tricking the victim into clicking
    on it, an attacker can perform malicious attacks such as the following:

    - Hijack user accounts by stealing the victim's cookies that are
    assigned to the victim's browser by the vulnerable website

    - Hijack user accounts by injecting a "fake" html form on the html
    rendered by the victim's web browser

    - Redirect the victim to a malicious third-party website which would
    perform a phishing attack to steal the user credentials or exploit a
    vulnerability (i.e.: buffer overflow) on the victim's web browser in
    order to compromise the victim's workstation

    Notes:

    Authentication is normally needed, unless system has been configured to
    support anonymous autologin.

    Tested on Windows 2008 64bit and Centos/Red Hat enterprise
    Hardware Proliant DL380 G5 and DL360 G5
