VULNERABILITY DETAILS

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of HP Network Node Manager. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within nnmRptConfig.exe CGI which is exposed by the webserver which listens by default on TCP port 80.
