The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSSv2 scoring system (http://www.first.org/cvss/).
Base Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
Temporal Score: 4.1 (E:F/RL:O/RC:C)
1. Prerequisite:
1) SSH is enabled on the Huawei Campus switch device.
2) The attacker gains access to the Huawei Campus switch device.
2. Attacking procedure:
When the maintenance terminal of a Huawei Campus device logs in to the server using SSH, the attacker can guess the username by several attempts, leading to the disclosure of sensitive username information and brute force cracking.
