Technical Description

cn.wps.moffice.common.beans.print.CloudPrintWebView in Kingsoft Office 5.3.1, as used in Huawei P2 devices before V100R001C00B043, falls back to HTTP when the HTTPS connection to the registry fails, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct downgrade attacks and execute arbitrary Java code by leveraging a network position between the client and the registry to block HTTPS traffic.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from wps. Update wps_office to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
