CVE-2016-5233

Status: ModifiedLow (3.7)—

Huawei Mate 8 smartphones with software NXT-AL10 before NXT-AL10C00B182, NXT-CL00 before NXT-CL00C92B182, NXT-DL00 before NXT-DL00C17B182, and NXT-TL00 before NXT-TL00C01B182 allow remote base stations to obtain sensitive subscriber signal strength information via vectors involving improper security status verification, aka HWPSIRT-2015-12007.

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).
