Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2010-2703 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the execvp_nc function of the ov.dll module in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.51 and 7.53 on Windows. An overly long HTTP request handled by webappmon.exe can overflow a stack buffer and permit remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) 7.53, specifically in the webappmon.exe CGI program. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the /OvCgi/webappmon.exe endpoint, overflowing a buffer in the execvp_nc function of ov.dll, and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module allows the attacker to specify a payload (up to 1024 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters) that will be executed on the target Windows system. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution as the web server user. The module is well-documented, includes references to CVE-2010-2703 and other advisories, and is structured according to Metasploit conventions. The only fingerprintable network endpoint is the /OvCgi/webappmon.exe CGI, and the exploit is delivered over HTTP. The repository is a single Ruby file, typical for Metasploit modules.
