CVE-2010-4112
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedHP Insight Management Agents before 8.6 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an unspecified request that triggers disclosure of the full path.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceHP Insight Management Agents before version 8.6 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows remote attackers to obtain the full file system path through unspecified HTTP requests. This path disclosure could aid attackers in reconnaissance for further exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify HP Insight Management Agents is installedCheck system for presence of HP Insight Management Agents software. On Windows, check Add/Remove Programs or Program Files for HP SIM or HP Management Agents. On Linux, check for RPM packages using 'rpm -qa | grep -i hp' or 'dpkg -l | grep -i hp'.Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Determine installed versionRetrieve the version of HP Insight Management Agents. On Windows, check the program's properties in Add/Remove Programs, or look for version info in the HP directory (commonly under C:\Program Files\HP or C:\hp). On Linux, run 'rpm -q hp-smh-templates' or check version files in /opt/hp.Affected if Version cannot be determined or is one of the affected versions: <= 8.5, 6.30.0.0, 6.31.0.0, 6.40.0.0, 7.0.0.0, 7.10.0.0, 7.20.0.0, 7.30.0.0, 7.40.0.0, 7.40.1.0, 7.41.0.0, or 7.50.0.0
-
Confirm HTTP management interface is accessibleVerify the HP Insight Management Agents HTTP service is running and exposed. Check if port 2301 (HP HTTP service default) or configured HTTP port is listening using 'netstat -an | findstr 2301' on Windows or 'netstat -tuln | grep 2301' on Linux. Confirm the service is accessible from network.Affected if The HTTP management interface is exposed and responds to requests
-
Test for path disclosureSend a crafted HTTP request to the HP Management Agents web interface. Using a browser or curl, access the management URL (commonly http://localhost:2301 or the configured HP agent port) and observe if full file system paths are returned in error messages or responses.Affected if HTTP responses reveal absolute file system paths
The system is affected if HP Insight Management Agents is installed with a version at or below 8.5 (including the specific listed versions) AND the HTTP management interface is accessible, allowing path disclosure through web requests.
