MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | This vulnerability presents minimal practical risk despite its race condition classification. The CVSS vector AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L establishes multiple attack barriers: local-only access requirement, high attack complexity, requirement for authenticated user privileges, mandatory user interaction, and impact limited to availability (no confidentiality or integrity impact). The CVSS score of 2.2 (low severity) reflects these constraints. The exploitation requires precise timing coordination by a low-privileged user while triggering user interaction, making practical exploitation difficult. No evidence of public exploit code or active exploitation (KEV status not indicated) further reduces real-world concern. This is a textbook example of a theoretically valid but practically low-impact vulnerability; organizations should prioritize patching only after addressing higher-severity issues. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A local, low-privileged user on a HarmonyOS device must trigger a specific sequence of user interactions that causes the event notification module to process concurrent operations during a narrow synchronization window. By carefully timing their actions, they could disrupt notification processing and cause a temporary denial of service. However, the requirement for user interaction and high attack complexity makes this scenario unlikely in practice. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 13, 2026
Race condition in Huawei HarmonyOS event notification module allows local authenticated users with user interaction to cause denial of service through availability impact. The vulnerability requires local access, high attack complexity, and user interaction; with a CVSS score of 2.2, it represents minimal real-world risk. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at this time.
RemediationAI
Users should consult Huawei's official security bulletins at https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/bulletin/2026/4/ (consumer devices) and https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/bulletinlaptops/2026/4/ (laptops) for specific patched HarmonyOS versions and deployment instructions. Apply the recommended security update when available from Huawei. Given the low CVSS score (2.2) and high attack complexity, patching can be scheduled as part of routine maintenance rather than emergency response. No workarounds are documented; patching is the primary remediation path.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in HarmonyOS's event notification module and is classified as a race condition (CWE-362), a timing-dependent flaw where improper synchronization between concurrent operations allows an attacker to manipulate state during a narrow window. The affected product is Huawei HarmonyOS across multiple versions (cpe:2.3:a:huawei:harmonyos:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), indicating the flaw is present in a range of releases. Race conditions in event handling systems typically arise from unsynchronized access to shared resources during notification processing, which can result in logic errors or resource exhaustion when exploited by manipulating timing of concurrent operations.

Attack Technique
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
