CVE-2022-41579

Band connection spoofing via weak authentication

Published Dec 28, 2022 · Updated Apr 11, 2025

Insufficient authentication in Huawei HOTA-Fara-B19 11.1.2.40-fullpackage-OTA allows remote attackers to spoof and connect to the band. The band does not sufficiently authenticate a connecting device when an attacker fakes certain credentials, enabling identity spoofing during the connection exchange. The attack requires wireless proximity but no prior privileges or user interaction; Huawei reports spoofing and connection as the resulting impact without documenting broader effects.
