VAR-201712-0795
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:25Huawei iReader app before 8.0.2.301 has an input validation vulnerability due to insufficient validation on the URL used for loading network data. An attacker can control app access and load malicious websites created by the attacker, and the code in webpages would be loaded and run. Huawei iReader The application contains an input validation vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Huawei Reader. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists within the handling of plugins. The issue results from the storage of plugins in an insecure location. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current user. Huawei iReader is a built-in e-book reading application for Huawei mobile phones produced by China's Huawei (Huawei)
