MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.84%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

There is a path traversal vulnerability in several Huawei smartphones. The system does not sufficiently validate certain pathnames from the application. An attacker could trick the user into installing, backing up and restoring a malicious application. Successful exploit could cause information disclosure.
