• – Vulnerability Details:
  This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
  vulnerable installations of HP SiteScope. Authentication is not required to
  exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists because HP SiteScope allows unauthenticated SOAP
calls to be made to the SiteScope service. One of those calls is
getFileInternal() which will return the content of any local file on the
server including the configuration files containing password information.
This can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current
process.

• – Vendor Response:

• – Mitigation:
  Given the stated purpose of SiteScope, and the nature of the vulnerability,
  the only salient mitigation strategy is to restrict interaction with the
  service to trusted machines. Only the clients and servers that have a
  legitimate procedural relationship with the HP SiteScope service should be
  permitted to communicate with it. This could be accomplished in a number of
  ways, most notably with firewall rules/whitelisting. These features are
  available in the native Windows Firewall, as described in
  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725770%28WS.10%29.aspx and
  numerous other Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.
