OpenHarmony Memory Corruption and Access Flaws
2026-05-19
Arbitrary code execution in OpenHarmony v6.0 and earlier enables remote attackers with low privileges to execute code within pre-installed apps via an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The CVSS 8.8 vector reflects network-reachable exploitation with low complexity and no user interaction once minimal privileges are obtained, yielding high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Out-of-bounds write in OpenHarmony v6.0 and earlier enables a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt memory and trigger an unrecoverable denial-of-service condition on affected devices. The flaw was disclosed by the OpenHarmony project itself, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Although CVSS scores it 8.4 (High) due to scope change and high confidentiality/integrity impact, the vector indicates local-only access with low privileges already required.
Remote code execution in OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior versions allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code within pre-installed applications through a race condition flaw (CWE-364). The CVSS 8.1 score reflects high confidentiality and availability impact but no integrity impact, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability requires low privileges but no user interaction, making it exploitable across OpenHarmony's distributed device ecosystem including smart devices, wearables, and IoT endpoints running the open-source operating system.
Use-After-Free memory corruption in OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior enables a local attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary code, achieving a changed scope with high availability impact. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-416, where freed memory regions are accessed without proper lifecycle management, a class of flaw frequently exploitable for control-flow hijacking. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the OpenHarmony security team has published a formal disclosure.
OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior versions expose sensitive information to local low-privileged attackers due to improper preservation of permissions (CWE-281). A locally authenticated attacker with standard user privileges can exploit this flaw to leak confidential data - achieving high confidentiality impact - without requiring elevated rights or user interaction. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and no-interaction-required nature of the attack make it straightforward to exploit once access is obtained.
Information disclosure in OpenHarmony v6.0 and earlier enables a low-privileged local attacker to leak high-sensitivity data from the system without any user interaction. The root cause is a signal handler race condition (CWE-364), where asynchronous signal delivery can expose protected memory contents while leaving system integrity and availability unaffected. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Integer overflow in OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior versions enables a local authenticated attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition, resulting in an availability impact. The vulnerability is low severity with a CVSS score of 3.3, requires local access with low privileges, and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis. Notably, the CVE tags include 'Information Disclosure' despite the CVSS vector indicating no confidentiality impact (C:N), a discrepancy that warrants vendor clarification.
NULL pointer dereference in OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior enables a local low-privileged attacker to crash the system or an affected process, causing a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability is confined to local exploitation with no confidentiality or integrity impact, as reflected in the CVSS:3.1 score of 3.3 (Low). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and no active exploitation has been reported.
Local denial-of-service in OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior versions exploits an improper input validation flaw (CWE-20), allowing a low-privileged local attacker to partially disrupt availability without requiring user interaction. The CVSS score of 3.3 (Low) reflects constrained impact: availability impact is rated Low (A:L), with no confidentiality or integrity loss. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, placing this in the lower tier of operational urgency.
Signal handler race condition in OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior enables a local, low-privileged attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability (CWE-364) produces only low availability impact per the CVSS vector, with no confidentiality or integrity loss confirmed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, placing this in a low-urgency tier despite the low attack complexity.
