Potential Impact

Successful exploitation may affect the integrity of services running on the affected HarmonyOS version 6.1.0. The CVSS score of 5.2 reflects a medium severity impact with partial confidentiality and integrity loss and high impact on availability. The vulnerability requires local access with high privileges and high attack complexity, limiting the scope of potential exploitation.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
