Loading vulnerability…
HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.51 and 7.53 contains a stack-based buffer overflow in webappmon.exe. A remote attacker can send a cookie containing an overly long OvJavaLocale value to trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-2709) in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.53. The exploit works by sending an HTTP GET request to a vulnerable CGI script (such as /OvCgi/webappmon.exe) with an overlong cookie (e.g., OvJavaLocale) that overflows a stack buffer in the OvWwwDebug function. The module allows the attacker to specify which cookie and CGI script to use, or it can select from a list of known vulnerable options. The payload is customizable and delivered as part of the malicious cookie, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the target Windows system. The module includes fingerprinting logic to verify the target is running HP OpenView, and supports multiple return addresses for different Windows versions. The structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit: it includes metadata, references, payload configuration, and the exploit logic. No hardcoded IPs or external domains are present; all endpoints are relative HTTP paths targeting the vulnerable application.
