Loading vulnerability…
A command injection vulnerability exists in the lhn/public/network/ping component of HP SAN/iQ before version 9.5, as used in the HP Virtual SAN Appliance. The vulnerability allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying system by supplying shell metacharacters in the second parameter to the ping function.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (hp_vsa_exec.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2012-4361) in HP StorageWorks P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) versions prior to 9.5. The exploit leverages default credentials to authenticate to the management service on TCP port 13838. It then injects arbitrary shell commands as part of a crafted ping request, allowing remote command execution on the target system. The module supports automatic target version detection (8.5.0 and 9.0.0) and is operational, providing a command execution payload. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of initialization, target detection, and exploitation logic. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the management TCP port 13838 and the ping request path used for injection.
