CVE-2025-2725
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 · uneditedA vulnerability classified as critical was found in H3C Magic NX15, Magic NX30 Pro, Magic NX400, Magic R3010 and Magic BE18000 up to V100R014. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /api/login/auth of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation leads to command injection. The attack needs to be initiated within the local network. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
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 confidenceA command injection vulnerability exists in the HTTP POST Request Handler for the /api/login/auth endpoint on H3C Magic NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, and BE18000 routers up to V100R014. An attacker on the local network can inject arbitrary commands through the login authentication function, potentially achieving full device compromise.

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 router modelAccess the router's web management interface or check the device label to confirm the exact model number (NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, or BE18000)Affected if The device is one of the five affected models and the firmware version is below V100R014
-
Determine the installed firmware versionLog into the router web interface and navigate to the System or Administration settings to view the firmware version, or use the router's CLI if accessibleAffected if The firmware version is lower than V100R014 (for example, V100R013, V100R012, or earlier)
-
Verify web management interface accessibilityAttempt to access the router's web interface via HTTP or HTTPS on the local network (typically at the default gateway IP address)Affected if The web management interface is accessible from the local network and responds to requests
-
Check if the /api/login/auth endpoint respondsSend a POST request to http://[router-ip]/api/login/auth (substitute the router's IP address) using a tool like curl or a web request utilityAffected if The endpoint accepts POST requests and processes login authentication parameters
The device is affected if it is an H3C Magic NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, or BE18000 router running firmware version earlier than V100R014, and the router's web management interface with the /api/login/auth endpoint is accessible on the local network.

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 dataUpgrade affected H3C Magic router firmware to V100R014 or later to remediate the command injection vulnerability. Since the attack vector is local network only, network segmentation and access controls provide additional defense-in-depth.
