There is a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) bypass vulnerability on several smartphones. The system does not sufficiently verify the permission, an attacker could do a certain operation on certain step of setup wizard. Successful exploit could allow the attacker bypass the FRP protection. Affected products: Mate 20 X, versions earlier than Ever-AL00B 9.0.0.200(C00E200R2P1); Mate 20, versions earlier than Hima-AL00B/Hima-TL00B 9.0.0.200(C00E200R2P1); Honor Magic 2, versions earlier than Tony-AL00B/Tony-TL00B 9.0.0.182(C00E180R2P2).

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
4.6 3.0 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:P)
Hands-on access—USB, keyboard, opening the case—not something you do purely over the wire.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
