Unauthenticated WAN reconfiguration via pre-auth wizard
Published Aug 4, 2026 · Updated Aug 4, 2026
Missing authentication in the web setup wizard of H3C Magic NX15 V100R017 allows remote attackers to alter WAN settings before login. The /www/api dispatcher routes /api/wizard/networkSetup before FCGI_UserAuth, and networkSetup.lua forwards attacker-controlled fields to the privileged esps.wan set operation. Reachability to the web management interface is sufficient to disable WAN access or replace addressing, DNS, and PPPoE configuration without user interaction.
