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 FusionSphere OpenStack with software V100R006C00 and V100R006C10 has a command injection vulnerability due to the insufficient input validation on four TCP listening ports. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the vulnerabilities to gain root privileges by sending some messages with malicious commands.

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

FusionSphere OpenStack V100R006C00 and V100R006C10 contains a command injection vulnerability caused by insufficient input validation on four TCP listening ports. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted messages containing malicious commands to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

MitigationRestrict network access to the affected TCP ports and apply vendor-provided patches or updates to FusionSphere OpenStack. If patches are unavailable, consider network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted users.

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 FusionSphere OpenStack installation
    Run 'cat /etc/huawei_fusionsphere_version' or check product documentation to confirm FusionSphere OpenStack is installed on the system
    Affected if The product is confirmed to be Huawei FusionSphere OpenStack
  2. Check installed version
    Execute 'swmgr -v' or access the FusionSphere management console to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The installed version is V100R006C00 or V100R006C10
  3. Identify vulnerable TCP listening ports
    Use 'netstat -tlnp' or 'ss -tlnp' to list all listening TCP ports on the system and correlate with FusionSphere OpenStack services
    Affected if Four specific TCP listening ports associated with FusionSphere OpenStack services are found to be listening and exposed
  4. Assess network exposure of vulnerable ports
    Review firewall rules using 'iptables -L' or check network segmentation configurations to determine if these TCP ports are accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The vulnerable TCP ports are accessible from untrusted or external network segments without proper access controls

The system is affected if it runs FusionSphere OpenStack version V100R006C00 or V100R006C10 AND has the four vulnerable TCP listening ports exposed to untrusted network access.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Restrict network access to the affected TCP ports and apply vendor-provided patches or updates to FusionSphere OpenStack. If patches are unavailable, consider network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted users.
