CVE-2014-8358

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—💥 Exploit

Huawei EC156, EC176, and EC177 USB Modem products with software before UTPS-V200R003B015D02SP07C1014 (23.015.02.07.1014) and before V200R003B015D02SP08C1014 (23.015.02.08.1014) use a weak ACL for the "Mobile Partner" directory, which allows remote attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges by compromising a low privilege account and modifying Mobile Partner.exe.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
