DESCRIPTION:
Sow Ching Shiong has discovered a vulnerability in HP Power Manager,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create an arbitrary user with
administrative privileges if a logged-in administrative user visits a
malicious web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.3.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Sow Ching Shiong via Secunia.
