Unauthenticated SYSTEM code execution via attachment path traversal
Published Nov 27, 2024 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Path traversal in attachment processing in HPE Insight Remote Support before 7.14.0.629 allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted names. The processAtatchmentDataStream method appends an attachment Content-ID to its storage directory without rejecting traversal sequences, then writes the supplied content to the resulting path. No authentication or user interaction is required, and a crafted JSP written into the web root executes as SYSTEM.
