Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The av-centerd SOAP service in AlienVault OSSIM before 4.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted (1) get_license, (2) get_log_line, or (3) update_system/upgrade_pro_web request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-3804.

The weakness was presented 06/13/2014 by agix (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at zerodayinitiative.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2014-3805 since 05/21/2014. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1059 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

A public exploit has been developed by Alfredo Ramirez and been published 5 days after the advisory. The exploit is available at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.
