What is CVE-2017-2728?

Huawei mobile phones, specifically the Honor 6X model and earlier versions, exhibit a vulnerability that allows an attacker to bypass the Bluetooth smart unlock feature. This security flaw stems from inadequate validation of Bluetooth devices. If the smart unlock function is enabled, an attacker can impersonate a trusted Bluetooth device, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the phone's screen and sensitive information. Users should take precautions to secure their devices and consider disabling the smart unlock feature until an update is applied.
