Summary

The Huawei VCN500 software prior to version V100R002C00SPC201 suffers from a vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to retrieve sensitive information. This issue arises due to the software's logging mechanism, which stores passwords in cleartext format. When log generation is triggered, attackers with the appropriate access can read the logs and potentially compromise sensitive data. It is critical for users to upgrade to the latest software version to mitigate these risks.
