Summary

Huawei switches, including the S5700, S6700, S7700, S9700, S12700, and ACU2 series, have been identified with a permission control vulnerability impacting Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) systems. When AAA is enabled and user permissions are not correctly configured, unauthorized AAA users can gain virtual terminal (VTY) access privileges, which may lead to privilege escalation. This poses significant security risks, as it allows potential exploitation of the network infrastructure. Users are advised to review their configuration settings and apply necessary updates.
