Unauthorized access via zero-permission URI forgery
Published Jun 16, 2023 · Updated Dec 17, 2024
Unauthorized access in Huawei HarmonyOS 2.1.0 allows attackers to forge URIs through AI Touch's Save for later feature. The Save for later feature accepts a forged URI from a third-party app without any app permission; Huawei has not disclosed the affected handler or validation logic. A malicious app installed on the device needs zero permissions and can trigger unauthorized access, while the accessible resource or operation remains undisclosed.
