High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
HUAWEI MobiConnect 23.009.17.00.216 software.
The local security vulnerability allows an attackers to gain higher access 
privileges by execution of arbitrary codes in connection with dll hijacking.

The security risk of the local privilege escalation vulnerability is estimated 
as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) 
count of 6.7. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires a local privileged 
systen user account without user for interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the privilege escalation web vulnerability results 
in software- or system compromise.


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with restricted 
system privileges and without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow
