According to sources, the current version of VxWorks used by Huawei, Wind River Systems will stop providing security patches and version updates by 2020, which may leave a vulnerable vulnerability to the BT network.
But all three sources said there was no indication that VxWorks had been deliberately inappropriately set and there was no indication that the software itself would pose a security risk. A spokeswoman for Wind River Systems said the company would help at the right time. The customer upgraded to a newer software version. She said, 'Wind River Systems provides its customers with migration routes and paths that should be well known and understood by the industry.'
A Huawei spokesperson declined to comment on specific issues in the media report, but said the company will address any issues raised by UK regulators that need improvement. The spokesman said, 'Network security has always been Huawei's top priority, we We will continue to actively improve our engineering processes and risk management systems.'
