Loading vulnerability…
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) versions 6.41, 7.01, and 7.51. The vulnerabilities are present in the executables ovlogin.exe, OpenView5.exe, snmpviewer.exe, and webappmon.exe. Remote attackers can exploit these flaws by sending specially crafted long arguments, such as an overly long Action parameter to OpenView5.exe, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.50 (CVE-2007-6204). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /OvCgi/OpenView5.exe CGI endpoint, overflowing the buffer via the 'Action' parameter. The module allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system, with the payload being customizable through Metasploit's payload system (up to 650 bytes, avoiding specific bad characters). The exploit is operational and requires the target to be running the vulnerable HP OpenView version on Windows 2000, with the CGI endpoint accessible over the network. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module written in Ruby, and the main entry point is the provided .rb file.
