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
A vulnerability was found in H3C Magic NX15, Magic NX30 Pro, Magic NX400, Magic R3010 and Magic BE18000 up to V100R014 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function FCGI_CheckStringIfContainsSemicolon of the file /api/wizard/getCapabilityWeb of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation leads to command injection. Access to the local network is required for this attack to succeed. 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 confidence

A command injection vulnerability exists in the HTTP POST request handler for the /api/wizard/getCapabilityWeb endpoint in H3C Magic routers (models NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, BE1800) up to V100R014. The FCGI_CheckStringIfContainsSemicolon function fails to properly sanitize input, allowing authenticated attackers with local network access to execute arbitrary system commands through the web interface.

MitigationUpgrade the H3C Magic router firmware to a version beyond V100R014 that contains the security patch. Until then, restrict network access to the device management interface and monitor for indicators of 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 checks

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

  1. Identify router model
    Access the router admin web interface or check the device label to confirm the exact model number (NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, or BE1800)
    Affected if The model is one of NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, or BE1800
  2. Check firmware version
    Log into the router web management interface and navigate to System Settings or Status page to view the firmware version. Compare it to V100R014.
    Affected if Firmware version is V100R014 or lower (any version up to and including V100R014)
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Check if the router HTTP/HTTPS management interface is accessible from the network. Attempt to access the device from an external IP or confirm network exposure settings.
    Affected if The web management interface is exposed beyond the local network (e.g., accessible via WAN)
  4. Confirm vulnerable endpoint exists
    Send a POST request to http://<router-ip>/api/wizard/getCapabilityWeb and observe if the endpoint responds. This requires authentication to the web interface first.
    Affected if The endpoint returns any response (even an error) indicating it exists and is reachable

The device is affected if it is an H3C Magic model (NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, or BE1800) running firmware version V100R014 or lower, AND the web management interface is accessible to untrusted networks.

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

Upgrade the H3C Magic router firmware to a version beyond V100R014 that contains the security patch. Until then, restrict network access to the device management interface and monitor for indicators of compromise.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Firmware version newer than V100R014 (contact H3C support for exact version number)

  1. 1. Identify the current firmware version of the H3C Magic device by accessing the web management interface or using the CLI command 'display version'
  2. 2. Check H3C's official support website (www.h3c.com or zhiliao.h3c.com) for the latest firmware version for your specific model (NX15, NX30 Pro, NX400, R3010, or BE18000)
  3. 3. Download the firmware version newer than V100R014 from H3C's official support portal
  4. 4. Access the device's web management interface and navigate to the firmware upgrade section (typically under System Tools > Firmware Upgrade)
  5. 5. Upload the new firmware file and initiate the upgrade process
  6. 6. Wait for the upgrade to complete and the device to reboot automatically
  7. 7. After reboot, verify the new firmware version is installed and confirm the vulnerability is patched
Caveat Review H3C release notes for any configuration or feature changes between versions; backup current device configuration before upgrading
