CVE-2025-57577
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 · uneditedAn issue in H3C Device R365V300R004 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the default password. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that their "product lines enforce or clearly prompt users to change any initial credentials upon first use. At most, this would be a case of misconfiguration if an administrator deliberately ignored the prompts, which is outside the scope of CVE definitions."
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 confidenceThe H3C Device R365V300R004 contains a default credential vulnerability allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by authenticating with factory-default credentials. This represents a pre-authentication remote code execution vector with high CVSS severity.

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 device modelAccess the device management interface or CLI and retrieve the model number and firmware version using 'display version' or similar command. Inspect device labeling or SNMP inventory if available.Affected if Device model is H3C R365V300R004 running firmware R365V300R004
-
Verify default credentials are activeAttempt to authenticate using well-known factory-default credential pairs (admin/admin, admin/password, etc.) or check if the default credential set remains unchanged in the local user database.Affected if Any administrative or user account still uses factory-default credentials that shipped with the device
-
Check for unauthorized administrative sessionsReview active sessions, logged-in users, and recent authentication logs for entries originating from unexpected IP addresses or showing unusual command execution patterns.Affected if Recent administrative sessions occurred from untrusted sources or at times unexplained by legitimate administrators
-
Inspect account configurationUse 'display users' or 'display local-user' commands to list all configured accounts and their privilege levels. Compare against documented expected accounts for your deployment.Affected if Unknown accounts exist or existing accounts have not been reconfigured from vendor defaults
User is affected if the H3C R365V300R004 device has any account still configured with factory-default credentials.

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 dataImmediately change all default credentials on affected H3C devices to strong, unique passwords per organizational policy, and implement automated credential rotation where possible.
