CVE-2020-9246
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 · uneditedFusionCompute 8.0.0 has an information leak vulnerability. A module does not launch strict access control and information protection. Attackers with low privilege can get some extra information. This can lead to information leak.
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 confidenceFusionCompute 8.0.0 contains an information leak vulnerability where a specific module fails to enforce strict access controls and information protection. Low-privilege authenticated attackers can exploit this to obtain sensitive information that should be restricted.
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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify FusionCompute versionCheck the installed FusionCompute version in the system administration or About section of the management interface, or use the command 'svn version' or equivalent version query command provided by FusionComputeAffected if The installed version is exactly 8.0.0 (this CVE affects only that specific version, not earlier or later versions)
-
Identify authenticated user accessReview the list of users with low-privilege accounts (such as read-only users, operator roles, or limited administrator accounts) in FusionCompute user managementAffected if Low-privilege authenticated users exist in the system who should not have access to sensitive information
-
Inspect module access controlsIn the FusionCompute management interface, navigate to the system configuration or module settings and review the access control configurations for sensitive modules. Look for any modules where role-based access control (RBAC) appears to be insufficient or bypassedAffected if Any module fails to enforce strict access controls based on user privilege levels
-
Check for sensitive information exposureReview system logs, audit trails, or operation logs for any instances where low-privilege users accessed restricted data, configuration files, or system information that should be protectedAffected if Low-privilege users have accessed information that should be restricted to higher-privilege roles
You are affected if your FusionCompute version is exactly 8.0.0 and low-privilege authenticated users can access sensitive information that should be restricted by proper access controls.

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 proper access control enforcement to the vulnerable module. Contact the vendor (Huawei) for specific patch or configuration guidance for FusionCompute 8.0.0.
