VulnerabilityCVE-2024-13980cvecve-2024-13980cwe-502
Published: Wed Aug 27 2025 (08/27/2025, 21:25:05 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: H3C Group
Product: Intelligent Management Center (iMC)

Description

H3C Intelligent Management Center (IMC) versions up to and including E0632H07 contains a remote command execution vulnerability in the /byod/index.xhtml endpoint. Improper handling of JSF ViewState allows unauthenticated attackers to craft POST requests with forged javax.faces.ViewState parameters, potentially leading to arbitrary command execution. This flaw does not require authentication and may be exploited without session cookies. An affected version range is undefined. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-08-28 UTC.

Technical Analysis

H3C Intelligent Management Center (iMC) versions up to E0632H07 contain a remote command execution vulnerability due to improper deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502) in the JSF ViewState parameter at the /byod/index.xhtml endpoint. Attackers can exploit this by sending forged POST requests with manipulated javax.faces.ViewState values without needing authentication or session cookies. This vulnerability allows arbitrary command execution on the affected system. The affected version range is not fully defined beyond 'up to E0632H07'. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 10.0, indicating critical severity. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no patches or vendor advisories are currently available.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation results in unauthenticated remote command execution on vulnerable H3C iMC systems, potentially allowing full system compromise. The vulnerability affects versions up to E0632H07 and does not require any user interaction or credentials. This represents a critical security risk for affected deployments.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the /byod/index.xhtml endpoint and monitor for suspicious POST requests with unusual javax.faces.ViewState parameters. Consider network-level controls to limit exposure of the iMC management interface to trusted administrators only.
