How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability CVE-2025-37099 is a remote code execution vulnerability. In essence, it allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a target system without requiring user interaction or system privileges. The flaw exists within the HPE Insight Remote Support software, where certain input is not properly validated. This can allow a specially crafted payload to be executed remotely, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
While the exact details of the exploit are beyond the scope of this blog post, an attacker might craft a malicious HTTP POST request to a vulnerable endpoint. This request could look something like this:
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "<payload>" }In this conceptual example, `
Mitigation
To mitigate the potential risk posed by this vulnerability, it is strongly recommended that users of HPE Insight Remote Support update their software to version v7.15.0.646 or later, which contains the necessary patches to address this issue. In situations where immediate patching is not possible, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can offer temporary mitigation. These systems can be configured to detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability.
