DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in H3C NX15 V100R017. Affected is the function service.add of the file /api/esps of the component Web API. Such manipulation leads to exposed dangerous routine. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution as root is achievable against H3C NX15 firmware V100R017 via the /api/esps Web API endpoint, which exposes the service.add function without adequate access controls (CWE-749). Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication, but a post-authentication proof-of-concept script (postauth_service_add_rce.py) is publicly available on GitHub, demonstrating a complete root RCE chain. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires valid high-privilege (administrative) credentials for the H3C NX15 web management interface - confirmed by PR:H in the CVSS 4.0 vector and the PoC filename prefix `postauth_`. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N) scores 7.3, placing this in the high tier but with a critical caveat: PR:H (high privileges required) means an attacker must first obtain valid administrative credentials before exploiting the endpoint. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been publicly identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running H3C NX15 firmware V100R017 and assess exposure-specifically whether high-privilege user accounts can access the device remotely. …
