Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro versions earlier than 10.1.0.150(C00E136R5P3)

Description The device has an improper authentication issue where it does not sufficiently validate certain credentials of a user's face. An attacker could craft the credential of the user, and a successful exploit could allow the attacker to pass the authentication with the crafted credential.

Recommendations For versions earlier than 10.1.0.150(C00E136R5P3), update to version 10.1.0.150(C00E136R5P3) or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling face authentication until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive features that rely on face authentication to minimize the risk of exploitation.
