Published: 04 March 2025
Description
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-24309 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) present in OpenHarmony versions v5.0.2 and prior. Published on 2025-03-04, it enables a local attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution within pre-installed applications.
The vulnerability can be exploited by a local attacker who has low privileges (PR:L), requiring low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in pre-installed apps, though it is limited to restricted scenarios. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 3.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N), reflecting low severity with changed scope and limited confidentiality impact.
