## What is CVE-2017-17170?

CVE-2017-17170 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Huawei Dp300 Firmware, published on 9 Mar 2018. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The CIDAM Protocol on some Huawei Products has multiple input validation vulnerabilities due to insufficient validation of specific messages when the protocol is implemented. An authenticated remote attacker could send a malicious message to a target system. Successful exploit could allow the attacker to tamper with business and make the system abnormal. Affected Huawei Products are: DP300 versions V500R002C00, V500R002C00B010, V500R002C00B011, V500R002C00B012, V500R002C00B013, V500R002C00B014, V500R002C00B017, V500R002C00B018, V500R002C00SPC100, V500R002C00SPC200, V500R002C00SPC300, V500R002C00SPC400, V500R002C00SPC500, V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC800, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCa00; RP200 versions V500R002C00SPC200, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE30 versions V100R001C10SPC300, V100R001C10SPC500, V100R001C10SPC600, V100R001C10SPC700B010, V500R002C00SPC200, V500R002C00SPC500, V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCb00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE40 versions V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCb00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE50 versions V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPCb00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; TE60 versions V100R001C10, V100R001C10B001, V100R001C10B002, V100R001C10B010, V100R001C10B011, V100R001C10B012, V100R001C10B013, V100R001C10B014, V100R001C10B016, V100R001C10B017, V100R001C10B018, V100R001C10B019, V100R001C10SPC400, V100R001C10SPC500, V100R001C10SPC600, V100R001C10SPC700, V100R001C10SPC800B011, V100R001C10SPC900, V500R002C00, V500R002C00B010, V500R002C00B011, V500R002C00SPC100, V500R002C00SPC200, V500R002C00SPC300, V500R002C00SPC600, V500R002C00SPC700, V500R002C00SPC800, V500R002C00SPC900, V500R002C00SPCa00, V500R002C00SPCb00, V500R002C00SPCd00, V500R002C00SPCe00, V600R006C00, V600R006C00SPC100, V600R006C00SPC200, V600R006C00SPC300, V600R006C00SPC400, V600R006C00SPC500; eSpace U1981 version V200R003C20SPC900.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2017-17170 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2017-17170 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Huawei Dp300 Firmware, published on 9 Mar 2018. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-17170 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Huawei Dp300 Firmware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
