CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
HP Mercury Quality Center 9.x

DESCRIPTION:
Isma Khan has reported a vulnerability in HP Mercury Quality Center,
which can be exploited by malicious users to manipulate certain
data.

The problem is that the "RunQuery()" method can be used by
authenticated users to execute certain SQL commands when making POST
requests to qcbin/servlet/tdservlet/TDAPI_GeneralWebTreatment. This
can be exploited to e.g. delete users or update user information in
the USER table via specially crafted POST requests.

The vulnerability is reported in version 9.0 build 9.1.0.4352. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to the application.
