CVE-2023-52101Network attack vector

Unauthenticated Wi-Fi service alteration and interruption

Published Jan 16, 2024 · Updated Jun 20, 2025

Component exposure in the Wi-Fi module in Huawei EMUI and HarmonyOS allows remote attackers to alter or interrupt Wi-Fi service. Huawei has not published the exposed component, the operation it performs, or the untrusted input that reaches it. Network access without authentication or user interaction is sufficient on EMUI 11.0.1, 12.0.0, and 13.0.0 and HarmonyOS 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, and 4.0.0; exploitation can alter Wi-Fi service state or interrupt service.
