CVE-2015-4032
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 · uneditedprojectContents.jsp in the Developer tools in Visual Mining NetCharts Server allows remote attackers to rename arbitrary files, and consequently execute them, 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 confidenceThe projectContents.jsp file in Visual Mining NetCharts Server Developer tools contains a file manipulation vulnerability allowing remote attackers to rename arbitrary files on the system. This capability can be leveraged to rename executable files to known locations accessible via the web server, leading to arbitrary code execution.

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 if Visual Mining NetCharts Server is installedCheck for NetCharts Server installation directories or review installed software inventory. Common locations include /opt/netcharts or C:\Program Files\Visual Mining\NetChartsAffected if Visual Mining NetCharts Server is found on the system
-
Locate the Developer tools moduleSearch for the Developer tools component in the NetCharts installation directory. Look for directories named 'developer', 'devtools', or similarAffected if Developer tools module directory exists in the NetCharts installation
-
Check for the vulnerable projectContents.jsp fileSearch for the file projectContents.jsp within the Developer tools directory or web application root. Common paths may include /developer/ or /tools/ subdirectoriesAffected if projectContents.jsp file is found in the application
-
Verify web server accessibilityAttempt to access the projectContents.jsp file via HTTP/HTTPS request to the web server (e.g., GET request to http://yourserver/developer/projectContents.jsp or similar path)Affected if The JSP file is accessible via the web server and returns an HTTP 200 response
-
Confirm file operation parameters are acceptedReview the application's response to identify if file manipulation parameters (such as filename, newname, or similar) are processed by the endpointAffected if The endpoint accepts and processes file path parameters without proper validation
The environment is affected if Visual Mining NetCharts Server with the Developer tools module is installed and the projectContents.jsp file is accessible via the web server, as all versions of this product contain the vulnerable file rename functionality.

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 dataRestrict file operation permissions in the affected JSP component and implement strict input validation on file path parameters. If the Developer tools module is not required in production, disable or remove it entirely.
