CVE-2024-22069
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThere is a permission and access control vulnerability of ZTE's ZXV10 XT802/ET301 product.Attackers with common permissions can log in the terminal web and change the password of the administrator illegally by intercepting requests to change the passwords.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an improper access control vulnerability in ZTE ZXV10 XT802/ET301 firmware where low-privileged users with 'common permissions' can intercept password change requests and illegally reset the administrator password, achieving privilege escalation. The web application fails to properly authorize password change operations, allowing horizontal privilege escalation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelLocate the device label or access the web management interface to confirm the model is ZTE ZXV10 XT802 or ZTE ZXV10 ET301Affected if The device model is either ZTE ZXV10 XT802 or ZTE ZXV10 ET301
-
Determine the firmware versionAccess the web management interface and navigate to the system status or firmware information page to view the installed firmware versionAffected if The firmware version is below v3.22.11p3 for ET301 or below v2.24.10p1 for XT802
-
Verify web management interface accessibilityConfirm the device web management interface (HTTP/HTTPS on the LAN or WAN interface) is reachable from your networkAffected if The web interface is accessible and the device has one of the affected firmware versions listed above
-
Review user account privilegesCheck the user account configuration in the web management interface to identify if standard or common permission-level accounts exist alongside administrator accountsAffected if Standard user accounts exist and the firmware version is in the affected range, indicating the privilege escalation could be exploited
The environment is affected if the device is a ZTE ZXV10 XT802 or ET301 running firmware below v3.22.11p3 or v2.24.10p1 respectively, and the web management interface is accessible with standard user accounts present.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply the vendor firmware update from ZTE that addresses this access control flaw. Until patched, monitor for unauthorized administrative account changes and restrict web interface access to trusted personnel only.
ZXV10 ET301 v3.22.11p3 or later; ZXV10 XT802 v2.24.10p1 or later
- 1. Identify the exact ZTE device model (ET301 or XT802) in your environment
- 2. Download the firmware from the official ZTE support portal (support.zte.com.cn) - ensure you get the specific version for your model
- 3. For ET301: upgrade to firmware version v3.22.11p3 or later
- 4. For XT802: upgrade to firmware version v2.24.10p1 or later
- 5. Access the device's web management interface using admin credentials
- 6. Navigate to the firmware upgrade or system update section in the administrative panel
