Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in HP Operations Dashboard

CVE-2009-4188

Summary

HP Operations Dashboard suffers from a security vulnerability due to its default password for the j2deployer account, which is set to 'j2deployer'. This configuration allows remote attackers to exploit the system through the manager role, leading to unrestricted file upload attacks targeted at the /manager servlet in the Tomcat servlet container. If successfully executed, these attacks could allow for arbitrary code execution within the affected environment. Users are advised to change the default password and regularly review access privileges to mitigate potential threats.
