Title: Microsoft Content Management Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) is an application that allows users to create, publish, and manage web content remotely. It operates in conjunction with Internet Information Server and SQL Server.
MCMS is prone to an arbitrary code-execution vulnerability because the software fails to properly validate user-supplied input. Specifically, the application fails to properly validate malicious HTTP requests containing unexpected characters.
Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code on affected computers with the privileges of the vulnerable application.

- HP Storage Management Appliance 2.1
