This vulnerability resides in the package management module of Huawei software or devices, specifically within permission control mechanisms. Due to improper access restrictions, an attacker with local system access can bypass intended security checks. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N indicates the attack is local, requires low complexity, and no privileges or user interaction. Exploitation allows unauthorized reading of sensitive data handled by the package manager. This typically involves accessing files or directories related to package metadata, logs, or configuration without proper authorization. The vulnerability stems from flawed access control lists (ACLs) or file permission settings within the module. An attacker can use standard system commands to read protected resources, leading to information disclosure. The impacted module may include directories like /var/lib/package-manager/ or /etc/package-manager/. Since no integrity or availability impact exists, data cannot be altered or services disrupted directly. However, compromised confidentiality can expose system details, such as installed packages versions or service configurations. This information could facilitate further attacks by revealing potential weaknesses. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity due to the local attack vector and confidentiality-only impact. Huawei has acknowledged the issue, and it affects various products using the vulnerable package management module.
Platform: Huawei
Version: Not specified
Vulnerability: Permission control vulnerability
Severity: MEDIUM
date: 12/08/2025
Prediction: Patch date TBA
What Undercode Say:
Analytics:
!/bin/bash
Check package manager file permissions
ls -la /var/lib/huawei-package-manager/
cat /etc/huawei/package.conf 2>/dev/null
Attempt to read log files
find /var/log -name “pkg” -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
How Exploit:
Attacker locally accesses restricted package management files using commands like ‘cat /var/log/huawei-pkg.log’ or reading configuration directories without authorization.
Protection from this CVE
Apply Huawei patches. Restrict local access. Harden file permissions.
Impact:
Confidentiality compromise. Sensitive data exposure.
