An issue in H3C Technologies Co., Limited H3C Magic RC3000 RC3000V100R009 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the Routing functionality.

Weakness

The product establishes a communication channel to handle an incoming request that has been initiated by an actor, but it does not properly verify that the request is coming from the expected origin.

Potential Mitigations

  • Use a mechanism that can validate the identity of the source, such as a certificate, and validate the integrity of data to ensure that it cannot be modified in transit using an Adversary-in-the-Middle (AITM) attack.
  • When designing functionality of actions in the URL scheme, consider whether the action should be accessible to all mobile applications, or if an allowlist of applications to interface with is appropriate.
