Summary

There is an information leakage vulnerability in some huawei products. Due to the properly storage of specific information in the log file, the attacker can obtain the information when a user logs in to the device. Successful exploit may cause an information leak. Affected product versions include: NIP6300 versions V500R001C00,V500R001C20,V500R001C30;NIP6600 versions V500R001C00,V500R001C20,V500R001C30;Secospace USG6300 versions V500R001C00,V500R001C20,V500R001C30;Secospace USG6500 versions V500R001C00,V500R001C20,V500R001C30;Secospace USG6600 versions V500R001C00,V500R001C20,V500R001C30,V500R001C50,V500R001C60,V500R001C80;USG9500 versions V500R005C00,V500R005C10.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Fuzzing and observing application log data/errors for application mapping
    An attacker sends random, malformed, or otherwise unexpected messages to a target application and observes the application's log or error messages returned. Fuzzing techniques involve sending random or malformed messages to a target and monitoring the target's response. The attacker does not initially know how a target will respond to individual messages but by attempting a large number of message variants they may find a variant that trigger's desired behavior. In this attack, the purpose of the fuzzing is to observe the application's log and error messages, although fuzzing a target can also sometimes cause the target to enter an unstable state, causing a crash. By observing logs and error messages, the attacker can learn details about the configuration of the target application and might be able to cause the target to disclose sensitive information.
