Huawei · Huawei Hisuite · CVE-2016-8273
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Huawei HiSuite version 4.0.5.300 OVE
**Description**
The issue concerns the use of insecure HTTP for software package downloads and the lack of integrity checks on the downloaded packages. This allows an attacker to potentially launch a Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack, interrupting or replacing the software package, which could further compromise the PC.
**Recommendations**
For Huawei HiSuite version 4.0.5.300 OVE, consider disabling the automatic software update feature until a secure update mechanism is implemented. Restrict access to the upgrade software package download feature to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using insecure HTTP connections for software package downloads; instead, use a secure connection such as HTTPS. As a temporary workaround, manually verify the integrity of the software package before installing it. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
