CVE-2026-28549: CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') in Huawei HarmonyOS
Race condition vulnerability in the permission management service. Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect availability.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is a race condition (CWE-362) in Huawei HarmonyOS's permission management service, affecting versions 5.1.0 and 6.0.0. A race condition occurs when concurrent execution using shared resources lacks proper synchronization, potentially leading to inconsistent system states. Successful exploitation could affect the availability of the system, though confidentiality and integrity impacts are low. The CVSS vector indicates local attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and unchanged scope.
Potential Impact
The primary impact is on system availability, which may be degraded or disrupted if the race condition is exploited. Confidentiality and integrity impacts are rated low. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently available. Users should monitor Huawei's advisories for updates and apply patches once released.
