CVE-2014-9137
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 · uneditedHuawei USG9500 with software V200R001C01SPC800 and earlier versions, V300R001C00; USG2100 with software V300R001C00SPC900 and earlier versions; USG2200 with software V300R001C00SPC900; USG5100 with software V300R001C00SPC900 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a CSRF attack against the user of the web interface.
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 · high confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Huawei USG9500, USG2100, USG2200, and USG5100 web interfaces allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trick authenticated users into executing unintended actions by crafting malicious requests.

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 the Huawei device modelAccess the device console or web interface and retrieve the exact model number (USG9500, USG2100, USG2200, USG5100, USG5500, or Fusionmanager)Affected if The model is one of: USG9500, USG2100, USG2200, USG5100, USG5500, or Fusionmanager
-
Determine the installed firmware versionLog into the device via console or web interface and navigate to the system information or firmware version section. Common command: display version or display firmware versionAffected if The firmware version matches or is older than: Fusionmanager v100r002c03 or v100r003c00; USG9500 v200r001c01spc800 or earlier, or v300r001c00; USG2100/USG2200/USG5100/USG5500 v300r001c00spc900 or earlier
-
Verify the web interface is accessibleConfirm the web-based management interface (HTTP/HTTPS) is enabled and reachable on the device. Check via: display ip interface or examine the web service configurationAffected if The web interface is enabled and accessible to users (this is required for the CSRF vector to apply)
-
Confirm authentication is in useVerify that user authentication is required and configured for the web interface. Check for local or remote user accounts configured for web loginAffected if Authenticated users access the web interface (CSRF targets authenticated sessions)
The environment is affected if the device model is one of the vulnerable USG products or Fusionmanager, the installed firmware version falls within the affected ranges listed, and the web management interface is enabled with user authentication.

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 dataApply vendor-supplied firmware patches (V200R001C01SPC800 later versions, V300R001C00SPC900 later versions) to implement proper anti-CSRF token validation in the web interface.
