## What is CVE-2025-29296?

CVE-2025-29296 is a critical command injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 4 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

H3C Magic BE18000 V200R007, H3C NX400 V100R015, H3C Magic NX30 Pro V100R0011, H3C Magic R3010 V100R009, H3C Magic NX15 V100R017, H3C Magic R1510 V100R016, H3C NE36 Pro V100R002 and H3C MC102G HM1A0V200R010 contain multiple command injection vulnerabilities in the /api/esps request handler. The affected object interfaces and methods are esps.dhcpd.vlan (getlist, delete), esps.filter.url (add, modify), esps.apcm.version (delete, H3C Magic NX15 only), esps.swcm.version (delete, upgrade, all affected models except H3C Magic NX15), and esps.system.ntp (set, all affected models except H3C Magic NX15). Attacker-controlled request parameters are incorporated into shell expressions executed by eval without adequate validation, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and gain complete control of the affected device.

Weakness: CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command)

Check this codebase for CVE-2025-29296 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-29296 is a critical command injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 4 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-29296 exists.

Affected product: n/a. 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.
