Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: GoAhead-Webs webserver for HP Instant TopTools versions prior to 5.55

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU consumption, by making a request to hpnst.exe that calls itself, resulting in an infinite loop.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 5.55, consider restricting access to the hpnst.exe executable as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation.
