[ISS X-Force #15989]

 May 5, 2004 12:00 GMT
PROBLEM: HP JetAdmin prior to 7.5 possibly others, has several security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote attacker.

1) A specially-crafted HTTP request can disclose the source content of certain file types. (ISS #15980)
2) The file framework.ini can be used to obtain sensitive information. (ISS# 15981 & ISS #15982)
3) A weak encryption sceme is used to protect the administration password and username. (ISS #15984)
4) The weak encryption scheme allows captured packets to be used later in a replay attack. (ISS# 15985)
5) Password validation can be bypassed to use services that are reserved to administrative users. (ISS# 15986)
6) Arbitrary data can be written to the file cache.ini which has session-specific information. (ISS #15988)
7) Installed programs can be executed, possibly with SYSTSM or root privileges. (ISS #15989)
PLATFORM: HP JetAdmin 6.2 and earlier
