TITLE:

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34015

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34015/

DESCRIPTION:
Valéry Raulet has discovered a vulnerability in HP Quality Center,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application insecurely
handling cached workflow scripts (e.g. common.tds, defects.tds,
manrun.tds, req.tds, testlab.tds, and testplan.tds). This can be
exploited to e.g. overwrite items in the database or perform other
restricted actions by overwriting the affected files and using the
OTA API.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 9.0 (Evaluation). Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly, the vendor has issued patches. Contact the customer
support for additional information.
