Privilege escalation via intercepted Wi-Fi events
Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Privilege escalation in Huawei mobile operating systems allows remote attackers to intercept Wi-Fi event notifications. The Wi-Fi module exposes event notifications that third-party applications can intercept and augment with attacker-controlled information, creating an elevation-of-privilege path. Exploitation requires a third-party application capable of reaching the affected notification interface; the vendor does not publish a more specific gate or code-level mechanism.
