Published Sep 27, 2024 · Updated Sep 18, 2025
Incorrect authorization in Huawei HarmonyOS 4.0.0 and 4.2.0 and EMUI 14.0.0 allows local users to disclose service data. The App Multiplier module fails to verify access permission, but Huawei has not disclosed the affected interface or incorrect operation. Exploitation requires high local privileges; the documented consequence is limited to service confidentiality.
