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 · unedited
Huawei UMA V200R001C00 has a SQL injection vulnerability in the operation and maintenance module. An attacker logs in to the system as a common user and sends crafted HTTP requests that contain malicious SQL statements to the affected system. Due to a lack of input validation on HTTP requests that contain user-supplied input, successful exploitation may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries.

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 confidence

Huawei UMA V200R001C00 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in its operation and maintenance module. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation on HTTP requests that contain user-supplied data, allowing authenticated users to inject malicious SQL statements. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary SQL query execution against the backend database.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patch for CVE-2017-15329. As an interim control, implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied parameters in the operation and maintenance module, and restrict database privileges for the application account to the minimum required.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Huawei UMA installation version
    Check the system firmware version through the device management interface or by accessing the about/system information page. On Huawei UMA, the version is typically displayed in the operation and maintenance module settings or system status page.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly v200R001C00.
  2. Verify operation and maintenance module is enabled
    Access the Huawei UMA web interface and navigate to the operation and maintenance module. Check if this module is actively configured and accessible.
    Affected if The operation and maintenance module is enabled and accessible to users.
  3. Confirm authentication is configured for O&M module
    Check the user authentication settings for the operation and maintenance module. Determine whether user accounts can log in to access this module.
    Affected if User authentication is enabled for the operation and maintenance module, meaning valid credentials can be used to access it.
  4. Inspect HTTP parameter handling in O&M module
    If you have access, examine the HTTP request handling in the operation and maintenance module. Look for parameters that accept user input and are used in database queries without proper validation.
    Affected if The O&M module processes user-supplied parameters in HTTP requests that interact with the backend database.

You are affected if you are running Huawei Uma firmware version v200R001C00 with the operation and maintenance module enabled and accessible via HTTP with authentication capabilities.
