Local data disclosure via virtualization path traversal
Published Aug 6, 2025 · Updated Aug 6, 2025
Path traversal in the virtualization base module in Huawei HarmonyOS 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 allows local users to disclose module data. Huawei has not published the specific function, request path, or validation failure that permits a pathname to escape its intended directory. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and no user interaction; the disclosed consequence is loss of confidentiality within the virtualization module.
