The leaked Wi-Fi password is also the default administrator\n    password after uppercasing, resulting in full authentication bypass.\n    \n    \n    ROOT CAUSE\n    ----------\n    router_logic_impl.lua accepts attacker-controlled _type and _tag parameters\n    for empty-path requests. urlpath_2type_modifier.lua only activates the\n    QuickSetupEnable gate when _type is absent. Supplying _type explicitly\n    causes\n    the wizard handlers (getPassword, wlan_get, ppp_get) to execute for\n    unauthenticated requests, returning WLAN PSKs, SSIDs, and PPPoE credentials.\n    \n    \n    TIMELINE\n    --------\n    2024-04-26: Local validation and PoC artifacts created.\n    2024-05:    Report sent to ZTE PSIRT.\n    2024-05-10: ZTE PSIRT stopped responding.\n    2026-01-17: Escalated to MITRE.\n    2026-02-02: ZTE PSIRT explicitly declined CVE assignment.\n    2026-03-27: MITRE assigned CVE-2026-34472.\n    2026-05-20: Full public disclosure.\n    \n    \n    CREDITS\n    -------\n    Mina Nageh Salalma (Monx Research)\n    https://github.com/minanagehsalalma\n    \n    -----END SECURITY ADVISORY-----",
