CVE-2018-7907
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

An attacker can trick a user to install a malicious application to exploit this vulnerability. Due to insufficient verification of the input, successful exploitation can cause sensitive information leak.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis vulnerability in multiple Huawei smartphone and tablet models allows a malicious application installed by the user to bypass insufficient input validation and access sensitive information. The attack requires user participation (installing a malicious app), making it a local privilege escalation leading to information disclosure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify device modelCheck the device settings or system information to determine the Huawei model (Agassi L09, Agassi W09, Baggio2 U01a, Bond, or Haydn)Affected if Model matches any of the affected products: Agassi L09, Agassi W09, Baggio2 U01a, Bond Al00c/Al10b/Tl10b/Tl10c, or Haydn L1jb
-
Determine firmware build numberNavigate to Settings > About Phone > Build Number, or use adb shell getprop ro.build.version.emui or similar command to retrieve the firmware versionAffected if Firmware version exactly matches any of the listed affected versions for the identified model
-
Verify input validation exposureThis is a vulnerability in the platform input validation. No direct config check available - the vulnerability exists in the affected firmware versions regardless of configurationAffected if Device runs an affected firmware version listed in the CVE
The device is affected if it is a Huawei Agassi L09/W09, Baggio2 U01a, Bond, or Haydn model running any of the specific firmware versions enumerated in the CVE (exact version match required).
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUsers should avoid installing applications from untrusted sources and apply Huawei security patches/firmware updates as they become available. Organizations should inventory affected devices and ensure they receive timely firmware updates.
