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.

NVD · unedited
HUAWEI P30 and HUAWEI P30 Pro smartphones with versions earlier than 10.1.0.123(C432E22R2P5) and versions earlier than 10.1.0.160(C00E160R2P8) have an information disclosure vulnerability. Certain WI-FI function's default configuration in the system seems insecure, an attacker should craft a WI-FI hotspot to launch the attack. Successful exploit could cause information disclosure.

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 · high confidence

The vulnerability exists in the default Wi-Fi configuration on Huawei P30 and P30 Pro smartphones. An attacker can set up a malicious Wi-Fi hotspot to exploit insecure default settings in the Wi-Fi function, leading to information disclosure.

MitigationUpdate the device firmware to version 10.1.0.123(C432E22R2P5) or 10.1.0.160(C00E160R2P8) or later to patch the insecure default Wi-Fi configuration.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify your device model
    Go to Settings > About Phone and verify the model is either Huawei P30 or Huawei P30 Pro
    Affected if Device model is Huawei P30 or P30 Pro
  2. Check the firmware build number
    Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Build Number and note the full build string displayed
    Affected if For P30: build number is lower than 10.1.0.123(c432e22r2p5); For P30 Pro: build number is lower than 10.1.0.160(c00e160r2p8)
  3. Verify the EMUI version
    Go to Settings > About Phone > EMUI Version to confirm the exact software version
    Affected if EMUI version corresponds to a build earlier than the patched releases specified above

You are affected if you have a Huawei P30 or P30 Pro running firmware below version 10.1.0.123(c432e22r2p5) or 10.1.0.160(c00e160r2p8) respectively.
