H3C Magic R3010 | Up to V100R014

How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of insufficient sanitization in handling HTTP POST Requests to the /api/wizard/getCapability endpoint. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary commands that the system subsequently executes, giving them the ability to manipulate the system or exfiltrate data.

Conceptual Example Code

A conceptual example of the vulnerability being exploited might look like the following, where the “malicious_payload” is the injected command:

POST /api/wizard/getCapability HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
{ "command": "; rm -rf /" }

In this example, the command “; rm -rf /” is injected, which, if executed, would delete all files in the system.

Recommended Mitigation

It is highly recommended to promptly apply the patch provided by the vendor. If immediate patching is not possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation. These systems can help detect and block malicious HTTP requests that attempt to exploit this vulnerability.
Remember, the best defense against these types of vulnerabilities is to keep your systems updated and to follow best security practices.
