CVE-2025-14015 is a buffer overflow vulnerability identified in the H3C Magic B0 device, up to firmware version 100R002. The flaw resides in the EditWlanMacList function within the /goform/aspForm web interface endpoint. By manipulating the argument parameter passed to this function, an attacker can trigger a buffer overflow condition. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction, making it highly dangerous. The buffer overflow can lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing attackers to take control of the device, disrupt network operations, or pivot to other internal systems. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7, reflecting its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, combined with ease of exploitation. The exploit code has been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of active exploitation. Despite early notification, the vendor H3C has not issued any patches or advisories, leaving affected devices exposed. The lack of vendor response and public exploit availability necessitate immediate defensive actions by users of this product. The vulnerability affects a critical networking component, potentially impacting enterprise and service provider environments that rely on H3C Magic B0 devices for wireless access control and network management.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-14015 could result in severe consequences including unauthorized access to network infrastructure, disruption of wireless services, and potential lateral movement within corporate networks. Confidential data transmitted or managed via these devices could be compromised, and attackers could manipulate network configurations or launch further attacks from compromised devices. Critical sectors such as telecommunications, government, finance, and industrial control systems that utilize H3C Magic B0 devices are particularly at risk. The absence of vendor patches increases the window of exposure, and public exploit availability means that less sophisticated attackers could leverage this vulnerability. The impact extends beyond individual organizations to potentially affect national critical infrastructure and essential services, especially where H3C equipment is widely deployed.

Given the lack of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include isolating H3C Magic B0 devices from untrusted networks and restricting access to the /goform/aspForm interface via network segmentation and firewall rules. Employ strict access control lists (ACLs) to limit management interface exposure only to trusted administrators. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity targeting the vulnerable endpoint and deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures tuned to detect exploitation attempts. Where possible, replace or upgrade affected devices to alternative hardware or firmware versions not impacted by this vulnerability. Conduct thorough asset inventories to identify all H3C Magic B0 devices and prioritize remediation efforts accordingly. Maintain heightened vigilance for indicators of compromise and prepare incident response plans specific to network device breaches. Engage with H3C support channels regularly for any forthcoming patches or advisories.
