CVE-2022-48288Network attack vector

Remote data disclosure via unauthenticated package APIs

Published Feb 9, 2023 · Updated Mar 24, 2025

Missing authentication in Huawei PackageManagerService APIs in HarmonyOS 2.0 and 3.0.0 and EMUI 12.0.1 allows remote attackers to read data. The affected APIs process requests without authentication or access-control enforcement, allowing protected information to be returned; Huawei has not identified the individual APIs. Network reachability to an affected API is required, and the documented consequence is limited to confidentiality loss.
