CVE-2022-48291

Confidential information access via unauthenticated Bluetooth pairing

Published Mar 27, 2023 · Updated Feb 19, 2025

Authentication bypass in Huawei HarmonyOS and EMUI Bluetooth pairing allows physically proximate attackers to access confidential information. The Bluetooth module accepts a pairing flow without completing required authentication, but Huawei has not disclosed the faulty check or message sequence. Exposure requires Bluetooth proximity to an affected device running HarmonyOS 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 3.0.0, or 3.1.0, or EMUI 11.0.1, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, or 13.0.0; no integrity or availability impact is reported.
