Loading vulnerability…
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) versions 7.01, 7.51, and 7.53. The vulnerabilities are present in several CGI programs, including OpenView5.exe, getcvdata.exe, ovlaunch.exe, and Toolbar.exe, and are triggered by sending overly long string parameters. Specifically, the vulnerable code is in ovutil.dll and ov.dll, where the _vsnprintf function in msvcrt.dll is used unsafely, leading to stack corruption. These flaws allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.50 (CVE-2008-0067). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the Toolbar.exe CGI component (located at /OvCgi/Toolbar.exe), causing a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's payload system, allowing the attacker to select a payload (such as a reverse shell) up to 650 bytes in size. The exploit is operational and requires the target to be running the vulnerable version of HP OpenView NNM on Windows 2000 with the vulnerable CGI endpoint accessible. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the /OvCgi/Toolbar.exe path. The repository is structured as a single Metasploit exploit module file.
