CVE-2026-41975: CWE-701 Weaknesses Introduced During Design in Huawei HarmonyOS
Permission management vulnerability in the network management module. Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect service integrity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Huawei HarmonyOS involves permission management flaws within the network management module, potentially allowing an attacker with limited privileges and requiring user interaction to affect the integrity of services. The CVSS vector indicates local attack vector (AV:L), high attack complexity (AC:H), low privileges required (PR:L), user interaction required (UI:R), unchanged scope (S:U), high confidentiality impact (C:H), low integrity impact (I:L), and high availability impact (A:H). The weakness is classified as CWE-701, which relates to design-level issues leading to resource management problems. No patch or official fix has been documented by the vendor as of the published date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could compromise the integrity of services on affected HarmonyOS devices, potentially disrupting normal network management operations. Confidentiality impact is high, indicating possible unauthorized access to sensitive information. Availability impact is also high, suggesting potential denial or degradation of service. Integrity impact is low, meaning data modification risk is limited. No known active exploits have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with local applications requiring network management permissions and avoid executing untrusted code that may trigger this vulnerability. Monitor official Huawei channels for updates on patches or mitigations.
