Huawei switches S5700, S6700, S7700, S9700 with software V200R001C00SPC300, V200R002C00SPC100, V200R003C00SPC300, V200R005C00SPC500, V200R006C00; S12700 with software V200R005C00SPC500, V200R006C00; ACU2 with software V200R005C00SPC500, V200R006C00 have a permission control vulnerability. If a switch enables Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) for permission control and user permissions are not appropriate, AAA users may obtain the virtual type terminal (VTY) access permission, resulting in privilege escalation.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 12 products from huawei, from huawei, from huawei and 9 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2017, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For huawei's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
