PatrolAgent.exe in BMC Performance Manager does not require authentication for requests to modify configuration files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request on TCP port 3181 for modification of the masterAgentName and masterAgentStartLine SNMP parameters. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating that it does not exist when the system is properly configured

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes an alleged unauthenticated remote code execution issue in BMC Performance Manager’s PatrolAgent.exe. The reported risk is that an attacker could alter configuration parameters over TCP port 3181. BMC disputed the issue when systems are properly configured, so urgency depends heavily on configuration and network exposure. Exposure is most plausible for legacy BMC Performance Manager deployments where PatrolAgent.exe is running and TCP 3181 is reachable from untrusted networks. The bundle does not identify specific affected versions or supported product lines. Prioritize if BMC Performance Manager is still deployed or TCP 3181 is exposed beyond trusted administration networks. Otherwise, handle through legacy asset review and configuration hardening. Mitigation focus: Inventory BMC Performance Manager and PatrolAgent.exe deployments.; Restrict TCP 3181 to trusted management networks only.; Verify BMC-recommended PatrolAgent configuration and authentication posture..
