Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in HP NNM's nnmRptConfig.exe. A remote user can send a long string data to the nameParams parameter via a POST request, which causes an overflow on the stack when function ov.sprintf_new() is used, and gain arbitrary code execution.'

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/http/hp_nnm_nnmrptconfig_nameparams
msf exploit(hp_nnm_nnmrptconfig_nameparams) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(hp_nnm_nnmrptconfig_nameparams) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(hp_nnm_nnmrptconfig_nameparams) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(hp_nnm_nnmrptconfig_nameparams) > exploit

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
