Hewlett Packard (HP) ProCurve Manager (PCM), PCM+, Identity vulnerability
HP ProCurve Manager and related products allow remote code execution through unsafe deserialization of marshalled objects in EJBInvokerServlet and JMXInvokerServlet.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted serialized objects to vulnerable servlet endpoints. This vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild and carries high exploitation likelihood.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
4 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2022-03-25).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.79003 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: Hewlett Packard (HP), ProCurve Manager (PCM), PCM+, Identity Driven Manager (IDM), and Application Lifecycle Management. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-94 Code Injection — weakness family: Injection.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I craft a malicious serialized Java object containing arbitrary code.
Business
Network management infrastructure becomes a direct attack vector for code execution.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I send the object to the EJBInvokerServlet or JMXInvokerServlet endpoint without authentication.
Business
Attacker gains unauthenticated remote code execution on management systems.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I execute commands with the privileges of the application server process.
Business
Complete compromise of network management capabilities and potential lateral movement into managed infrastructure.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
