TIT-AL00 smartphones with software versions earlier before TIT-AL00C583B214 have a exposed system interface vulnerability. The software provides a system interface for interaction with external applications, but calling the interface is not properly restricted. An attacker could trick the user into installing a malicious application to call the interface and modify the system properties.

Weakness

The product provides an Applications Programming Interface (API) or similar interface for interaction with external actors, but the interface includes a dangerous method or function that is not properly restricted.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Y6_pro_firmware Huawei * tit-al00c583b214 (excluding)

Extended Description

This weakness can lead to a wide variety of resultant weaknesses, depending on the behavior of the exposed method. It can apply to any number of technologies and approaches, such as ActiveX controls, Java functions, IOCTLs, and so on. The exposure can occur in a few different ways:

Potential Mitigations

  • Identify all exposed functionality. Explicitly list all functionality that must be exposed to some user or set of users. Identify which functionality may be:

  • Ensure that the implemented code follows these expectations. This includes setting the appropriate access modifiers where applicable (public, private, protected, etc.) or not marking ActiveX controls safe-for-scripting.
