The CVE-2025-58304 vulnerability stems from improper permission control within the file management module of Huawei devices. This flaw allows unauthorized access to files due to insufficient validation of user permissions during file operations. The vulnerability requires physical access (AV:P) and low attack complexity (AC:L), with no privileges needed (PR:N). It also requires user interaction (UI:R), such as tricking a user into performing specific actions in the file manager. The core issue lies in the module’s failure to correctly enforce access controls when handling file read or write requests. This bypass enables an attacker to read sensitive files (C:H) and potentially modify them with low impact (I:L), without affecting availability (A:N). The vulnerability is likely triggered under specific conditions, like certain file types or operation sequences, where permission checks are omitted or incorrectly implemented. Exploitation involves manipulating the file management interface to access restricted directories or files. The medium severity rating reflects the need for physical proximity and user interaction, limiting remote exploitation. Huawei has acknowledged the issue, and patches are expected to rectify the permission validation logic.
Platform: Huawei

What Undercode Say:
Analytics
Bash commands:
`ls -la /storage` – List permissions
`find / -perm -o=r` – Find readable files
Code:
if (!check_permission(file)) {
// Vulnerable bypass
}
How Exploit:
Attacker with physical access interacts with file manager UI to bypass permission checks and read confidential files.
Protection from this CVE
Apply Huawei patches, restrict physical access, enforce user awareness.
Impact:
Confidentiality compromise, low integrity impact.
