This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Micro Focus Operations Bridge Reporter. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the userName parameter provided to the LogonResource endpoint. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
