HP AdvanceStack hubs contain a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when an attacker bypasses the authentication in the 'web_access.html' administrative page by directly accessing the page. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to change the superuser password and thus able to gain full control of the affected device.
