Unauthenticated data disclosure and tampering via password scheme
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
Cryptographic weakness in ZTE ZXUniPOS NDS-LTE before V24.40.40CP01 allows remote attackers to read or alter protected data. ZTE identifies an insecure password scheme but does not disclose the affected component or whether the fault involves algorithm selection, key management, or code implementation. The affected range excludes V24.30.40CP03; exploitation requires a high-complexity network attack without authentication or user interaction.
