CVE-2024-57957 is a vulnerability involving improper log information control in the UI framework module of Huawei devices. This flaw, associated with CWE-657 (Violation of Secure Design Principles) and CWE-532 (Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File), was published on February 6, 2025, and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.6 (AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Exploitation requires physical access to the device (AV:P), low attack complexity, no privileges (PR:N), and user interaction (UI:R), such as tricking a user into performing a specific action. Successful attacks can result in high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability consequences, with the primary effect being disruption to service confidentiality as sensitive log information is improperly controlled.
Huawei has issued a support bulletin detailing the vulnerability at https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/bulletin/2025/2/, which security practitioners should consult for mitigation guidance and available patches.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Explicitly requires application of security and privacy engineering principles throughout the lifecycle, structurally preventing their violation.
Separation of duties is a core secure design principle whose mandated implementation directly stops the violation from occurring.
Least privilege is a fundamental secure design principle whose enforcement prevents the violation from being introduced.
Mandates separation of user and system functionality, a classic secure design principle that stops the violation at design time.
Requires isolation of security functions, directly preventing violation of that established design principle.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Directly mandates integration of secure development practices including design principles across the SDLC.
Establishes risk-management policy that can embed secure design expectations at the organizational level.
Explicitly requires incorporating least privilege, one key secure design principle.
Log generation configuration can and should exclude sensitive data, but the control statement focuses on availability rather than content filtering.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure system architecture and engineering principles are the explicit embodiment of the secure design principles violated by CWE-657.
Requiring de-identification and privacy controls before logs leave the organization reduces the chance that sensitive data inadvertently captured in logs becomes exposed to external parties.
A secure development life cycle directly requires adherence to established secure design principles.
Security testing can detect violations of secure design principles before release.
By defining what records must be kept, where, and for how long, the control discourages the inadvertent inclusion of sensitive information in logs or other externally accessible files that fall outside the formal record system.
Embedding security in project management helps enforce secure design principles from the outset.
