CVE-2020-14117Network attack vector

Unauthorized sensitive-component invocation via missing permission verification

Published Apr 21, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Improper permission configuration in Xiaomi Content Center before 4.4.11 allows remote attackers to invoke sensitive component functions. The app fails to verify permissions correctly before dispatching calls to those components, but Xiaomi has not identified the affected component or callable functions. No authentication or user interaction is required; the published impact is limited to unauthorized function invocation with low-integrity consequences.
