CVE-2020-9252


HUAWEI Mate 20 versions earlier than 10.1.0.160(C00E160R3P8), HUAWEI Mate 20 X versions earlier than 10.1.0.135(C00E135R2P8), HUAWEI Mate 20 RS versions earlier than 10.1.0.160(C786E160R3P8), and Honor Magic2 smartphones versions earlier than 10.1.0.160(C00E160R2P11) have a path traversal vulnerability. The system does not sufficiently validate certain pathname from certain process, successful exploit could allow the attacker write files to a crafted path.


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a LOW severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 2.3, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction . The vulnerability impacts limited integrity, for affected systems. Impacting 8 products from huawei, from huawei, from huawei and 5 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2020, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For huawei's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
