CVE-2025-54637

Information disclosure via unchecked ambient-light array access

Published Aug 6, 2025 · Updated Aug 6, 2025

Out-of-bounds read in Huawei HarmonyOS and EMUI allows local users with high privileges to disclose data through the kernel ambient light module. The module insufficiently verifies data before using it to access an array, permitting a read beyond the array boundary. Exploitation requires local access and high privileges; Huawei reports confidentiality impact only and has not disclosed the input path or exposed data.
