AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a path traversal vulnerability in HP ProCurve Manager SNAC Server (CVE-2013-4812) to upload and execute a JSP payload, achieving remote code execution. It bypasses authentication and leverages a flaw in the UpdateCertificatesServlet to write arbitrary files.

Description

UpdateCertificatesServlet in the SNAC registration server in HP ProCurve Manager (PCM) 3.20 and 4.0, PCM+ 3.20 and 4.0, and Identity Driven Manager (IDM) 4.0 does not properly validate the fileName argument, which allows remote attackers to upload .jsp files and consequently execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, aka ZDI-CAN-1743.
