4) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in HP SiteScope, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion
attacks.

The SiteScope server performs agent-less monitoring of the IT
infrastructure and can be configured to receive SNMP traps from
devices. The status of the SNMP monitor and the content of received
SNMP trap messages can be viewed in the web interface. The received
SNMP messages are rendered in the context of the management interface
with no filtering or sanitising. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session when
viewing the information.

======================================================================
5) Solution

Do not view SNMP traps.

======================================================================
