Vulnerability
Overview
CVE-2026-41969 is a permission control vulnerability in the projection module of Huawei's HarmonyOS and EMUI software. The root cause is insufficient enforcement of access restrictions, which may allow an unauthorized entity to bypass intended permission checks [1].
Exploitation
An attacker with local access to a device running an affected version of HarmonyOS (4.0.0 through 4.3.1) or EMUI (14.0.0 through 15.0.0) could exploit this flaw by interacting with the projection module without proper authorization. No user interaction beyond initial access is required, and the attack complexity is low [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, affecting the confidentiality of services that rely on the projection module. The CVSS v3 base score is 6.2 (Medium), indicating a moderate risk to data privacy [1].
Mitigation
Huawei has addressed this vulnerability in the May 2026 security bulletin. Users are advised to update their devices to the latest firmware versions as specified in the bulletin to remediate the issue patches for the affected components [1].
