PR10-05: XSS injection vulnerability within HP System Management Homepage (Formally Insight Manager)
Vulnerability found: 8th February 2010
Vendor informed:  9th February 2010
Vulnerability fixed:  6th August 2010
Severity: Medium

Description:
An XSS vulnerability has been found within HP system management for HP servers; this arises from insufficient input 
filtering found within the hpdiags suite of programs. The hpdiags suite of programs was found to be present within 
Linux versions of HP system management.
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 an 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 automatic login.
