AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Weak encryption in ZTE ZXIPTV allows remote attackers to enumerate or brute-force passwords via credential guessing.
Vulnerability
ZTE ZXIPTV and ZXIPTV-WEB versions up to PV5.09.08.04 use an encryption algorithm improperly, leading to a cryptographic weakness. This flaw enables remote attackers to conduct account credential enumeration or brute-force attacks for password guessing. The affected product is ZXIPTV with the web component ZXIPTV-WEB-PV5.09.08.04. [1]
Exploitation
An attacker with network access to the ZXIPTV web interface can exploit the weak encryption to perform credential enumeration or brute-force attacks without requiring prior authentication. The vulnerability stems from the improper implementation of the encryption algorithm, making it possible to guess or enumerate user credentials. [1]
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to enumerate valid accounts or brute-force passwords, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the ZXIPTV system. This leads to confidentiality and integrity compromise as described in the CVSS vector (C:L, I:L). [1]
Mitigation
ZTE has released a fix in version ZXIPTV-WEB-PV5.09.08.04P3 or later. Users should upgrade to the resolved version to remediate the vulnerability. No workarounds are provided. [1]
