Authentication Bypass and RCE in HP SiteScope APISiteScopeImpl SOAP Service

IdentifiersCVE-2013-4835CWE-306

CVE-2013-4835 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the APISiteScopeImpl SOAP service of HP SiteScope versions 10.1x and 11.x prior to 11.22. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by directly invoking the issueSiebelCmd method, which can result in the execution of arbitrary code on the affected system. This issue is also referenced as ZDI-CAN-1765.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the HP SiteScope server, potentially leading to full system compromise and lateral movement within the network.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the SiteScope SOAP service to trusted hosts only, and monitor for suspicious activity targeting the issueSiebelCmd method.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade HP SiteScope to version 11.22 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed by HP.

hp_sitescope_issuesiebelcmd.rbMaturityWeaponizedFrameworkmetasploitVerified exploit

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting HP SiteScope 11.20's APISiteScopeImpl web service. The exploit leverages an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-4835) in the issueSiebelCmd method, allowing arbitrary OS command execution via crafted SOAP requests. The module supports both Windows and Linux targets, using a VBS-based command stager for Windows and direct shell commands for Linux. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the /SiteScope/services/APISiteScopeImpl SOAP service, typically accessible on port 8080. The exploit is operational and provides attackers with the ability to execute arbitrary commands on vulnerable systems without authentication. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with clear separation of initialization, vulnerability checking, exploitation, and command execution logic.
