Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Huawei Mate10 versions earlier than 8.0.0.110(C00)

Description: The issue concerns a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) bypass. It arises because the system does not sufficiently verify permissions. An attacker can exploit this by connecting the smartphone to a computer using a data cable and performing specific operations. This could allow the attacker to bypass FRP protection and access the system setting page.

Recommendations: For versions earlier than 8.0.0.110(C00), update to version 8.0.0.110(C00) or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting physical access to the device to minimize the risk of exploitation.
