HP Operations Manager 8.10 on Windows contains a "hidden account" in the XML file that specifies Tomcat users, which allows remote attackers to conduct unrestricted file upload attacks, and thereby execute arbitrary code, by using the org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet class to make requests to manager/html/upload.

Security readout for executives and security teams

HP Operations Manager 8.10 on Windows reportedly shipped with a hidden Tomcat account. If reachable remotely, an attacker could use Tomcat’s management upload function to place files and execute code. This is serious for organizations still running this legacy version, especially if management services are exposed beyond trusted administration networks. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running HP Operations Manager 8.10 on Windows with Tomcat manager interfaces reachable from untrusted networks. Internet-facing or broadly accessible administration ports increase business risk. Organizations not using this product or version are unlikely to be affected based on the supplied sources. Treat as high priority if HP Operations Manager 8.10 on Windows remains in use. The issue can enable remote code execution through administrative web functionality. Prioritize discovery, network isolation, and vendor-guided remediation. If the product is retired or not deployed, document non-exposure and close after validation. Mitigation focus: Identify any HP Operations Manager 8.10 deployments on Windows.; Review HP advisory HPSBMA02478 for vendor-approved fixes or configuration guidance.; Restrict Tomcat manager access to trusted administration networks only..
