## FAQ

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

The bulletins list HarmonyOS 7.0.0 and HarmonyOS 6.1.0 for phones and tablets, and the same two versions for smart watches. To check a device, compare its HarmonyOS version in the system About settings with those listed versions.

### What should I do about it?

The checked facts do not name a fixed version, so no upgrade target can be given. Check Huawei's bulletin for the phones/tablets and smart watches for a patched build.

### Is it being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.
