MEDIUM 6.2EPSS 0.23%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

There is a privilege escalation vulnerability on some Huawei smart phones due to design defects. The attacker needs to physically contact the mobile phone and obtain higher privileges, and execute relevant commands, resulting in the user's privilege promotion.
