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
The CIDAM Protocol on some Huawei Products has multiple input validation vulnerabilities due to insufficient validation of specific messages when the protocol is implemented. An authenticated remote attacker could send a malicious message to a target system. Successful exploit could allow the attacker to tamper with business and make the system abnormal. Affected Huawei Products are: DP300 versions V500R002C00, V500R002C00B010, V500R002C00B011, V500R002C00B012, V500R002C00B013, V500R002C00B014, V500R002C00B017, V500R002C00B018, V500R002C00SPC100, V500R002C00SPC200, V500R002C00SPC300, V500R002C00SPC400, V500R002C00SPC500, V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC800, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCa00; RP200 versions V500R002C00SPC200, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE30 versions V100R001C10SPC300, V100R001C10SPC500, V100R001C10SPC600, V100R001C10SPC700B010, V500R002C00SPC200, V500R002C00SPC500, V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCb00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE40 versions V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCb00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE50 versions V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPCb00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE60 versions V100R001C10, V100R001C10B001, V100R001C10B002, V100R001C10B010, V100R001C10B011, V100R001C10B012, V100R001C10B013, V100R001C10B014, V100R001C10B016, V100R001C10B017, V100R001C10B018, V100R001C10B019, V100R001C10SPC400, V100R001C10SPC500, V100R001C10SPC600, V100R001C10SPC700, V100R001C10SPC800B011, V100R001C10SPC900, V500R002C00, V500R002C00B010, V500R002C00B011, V500R002C00SPC100, V500R002C00SPC200, V500R002C00SPC300, V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPC800, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCa00, V500R002C00SPCb00, V500R002C00SPCd00, V500R002C00SPCe00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC100, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; eSpace U1981 version V200R003C20SPC900.

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 · moderate confidence

The CIDAM Protocol implementation on affected Huawei products (DP300, RP200, TE30-TE60, eSpace U1981) contains multiple input validation vulnerabilities where specific protocol messages are not properly validated before processing. An authenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted malicious messages to tamper with business operations and cause system abnormal behavior.

MitigationApply vendor-provided patches for affected product versions. As an interim measure, restrict network access to these devices to minimize exposure to authenticated attackers, and monitor for suspicious protocol message patterns.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 the product model
    Check the device model or product name. For hardware appliances, this is typically displayed in the system information menu or on the device label. For software installations, check the installed product name.
    Affected if The product is Huawei DP300, RP200, TE30, TE60, or eSpace U1981.
  2. Determine the firmware or software version
    Access the device administration interface or system settings to retrieve the current firmware version. Compare the installed version number against the list of affected versions provided for DP300: v500r002c00, v500r002c00b010-b018, v500r002c00spc100-spc400. For RP200, TE30-TE60, and eSpace U1981, obtain the version from the vendor's system information page.
    Affected if The installed version matches any of the affected versions listed in the CVE.
  3. Verify CIDAM Protocol configuration status
    Check the device or software configuration settings for the CIDAM Protocol module. This may be found in the protocol settings, network services, or business communication configuration menus depending on the product interface.
    Affected if The CIDAM Protocol is enabled or configured on the device.
  4. Review protocol message logs for anomalies
    Examine system logs, protocol message logs, or security event logs for unusual or malformed CIDAM protocol messages that may indicate exploitation attempts.
    Affected if Malicious or abnormally formatted CIDAM protocol messages are detected in the logs.

A user is affected if they are running any of the listed product models (DP300, RP200, TE30-TE60, eSpace U1981) with a version matching the affected versions AND the CIDAM Protocol is enabled.
