Summary
-----BEGIN SECURITY ADVISORY-----
Advisory ID: MONX-2026-002
CVE ID: CVE-2026-34472
Title: ZTE ZXHN H188A V6 - Authentication Bypass via Pre-Login
Wizard Credential Leakage
Affected: ZTE ZXHN H188A V6.0.10P2_TE, V6.0.10P3N3_TE

MITRE: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-34472
VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION
--------------------------
Unauthenticated requests to the root path of ZTE ZXHN H188A V6 firmware can
reach pre-login wizard handlers and disclose WLAN PSKs, SSIDs, and PPPoE
usernames. The leaked Wi-Fi password is also the default administrator
password after uppercasing, resulting in full authentication bypass.
ROOT CAUSE
----------
router_logic_impl.lua accepts attacker-controlled _type and _tag parameters
for empty-path requests. urlpath_2type_modifier.lua only activates the
QuickSetupEnable gate when _type is absent. Supplying _type explicitly
causes
the wizard handlers (getPassword, wlan_get, ppp_get) to execute for
unauthenticated requests, returning WLAN PSKs, SSIDs, and PPPoE credentials.
TIMELINE
--------
2024-04-26: Local validation and PoC artifacts created.
2024-05: Report sent to ZTE PSIRT.
2024-05-10: ZTE PSIRT stopped responding.
2026-01-17: Escalated to MITRE.
2026-02-02: ZTE PSIRT explicitly declined CVE assignment.
2026-03-27: MITRE assigned CVE-2026-34472.
2026-05-20: Full public disclosure.
