Vodafone and Huawei dispute the report, saying the vulnerabilities were resolved at the time.

The report, which has been disputed by Vodafone and Huawei, is potentially explosive. US and other intelligence agencies suspect Huawei is used as a tool for Chinese spying, but there is no public evidence to support this.

Bloomberg reports that the documents show Vodafone requested that telnet be removed, which Huawei agreed to do and said the problem was fixed. However, subsequent testing found telnet was still present, at which point Huawei refused to remove it entirely, reportedly citing manufacturing requirements.

"Bloomberg is incorrect in saying that this 'could have given Huawei unauthorized access to the carrier's fixed-line network in Italy.' In addition, we have no evidence of any unauthorised access. A Huawei spokeswoman told Business Insider that the issues were"addressed at the time." However, sources involved in the companies' discussions told Bloomberg that the vulnerabilities persisted past 2012 and cropped up in other European markets including the UK, Germany, Spain, and Portugal.Stefano Zanero, an associate professor of computer security at Italy's Politecnico di Milano University, reviewed the Vodafone documents handed to Bloomberg.
