CVE-2015-2114
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 Support Solution Framework before 11.51.0049 allows remote attackers to download an arbitrary program onto a client machine and execute this program via unspecified vectors.
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 Support Solution Framework versions prior to 11.51.0049 contain a vulnerability allowing remote attackers to download and execute arbitrary programs on client machines. The attack vector is not fully specified in available documentation, but the impact is arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected client application.

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.
-
Identify installed HP Support Solution Framework versionLocate the HP Support Solution Framework installation on the system (typically found in Program Files or via Windows installed programs list) and retrieve its version information through the executable properties or installer metadataAffected if The displayed version is 11.51.0027 or earlier, or if no version number is visible but the product is present and predates the 11.51.0049 patch release
-
Verify the exact version number against the affected rangeCompare your installed version string (such as 11.51.xxxx format) to the known vulnerable threshold of 11.51.0027; versions 11.51.0028 through 11.51.0048 are also potentially vulnerable as the fix was released in 11.51.0049Affected if The installed version is 11.51.0048 or lower, meaning it precedes the patched 11.51.0049 release
-
Confirm the application is actively installed or runningCheck whether HP Support Solution Framework is present on the system as an installed component (via Add/Remove Programs, Program Files directory, or running processes)Affected if The software is installed and the version cannot be determined or is confirmed to be in the vulnerable range; if the software is not installed, the system is not affected
A system is affected if HP Support Solution Framework is installed with any version lower than 11.51.0049, particularly versions 11.51.0027 and earlier.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade HP Support Solution Framework to version 11.51.0049 or later. Until patched, consider network segmentation and restricting access to HP support infrastructure to reduce exposure to remote attack vectors.
