CVE-2007-5289

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-5289 describes a critical vulnerability in HP Mercury Quality Center (QC) 9.2 and earlier, and potentially TestDirector, where reliance on cached client-side scripts for workflow and user capability decisions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This is achieved by manipulating specific .tds files within the temporary directory via crafted use of the Open Test Architecture (OTA) API. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.6 (High), indicating a network-based attack with high complexity, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity and FAUCET Risk Score of 91/100, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
