Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted GET-request to /servlet/OPMRequestHandlerServlet, containing «OPERATION_TYPE» parameter «APM_API_KEY_REQUEST» and a specially set parameter «USERNAME» and execute arbitrary code with system privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
