CVE-2025-52689 is an authentication flaw in an access point management interface in which an unauthenticated attacker can spoof a login request and obtain a valid session ID associated with administrator privileges. Based on the provided description, the issue appears to stem from improper verification of the authenticity or origin of the login transaction, allowing the system to issue an administrative session token without successful legitimate authentication. The vulnerable condition enables session establishment as an administrator solely through a crafted or spoofed login request.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-52689, targeting the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise AP1361D Wi-Fi Access Point. The exploit is implemented in Python (exp.py) and demonstrates an authentication bypass vulnerability in the device's web interface. The code first synchronizes with the device's server time, then crafts a valid HMAC signature and timestamp to obtain a valid session ID via the /echo.fcgi/api/login endpoint. With this session, it sends a privileged request to /echo.fcgi to add a specified MAC address to the device's blacklist. The exploit requires the attacker to specify the target device's web interface address. The repository includes a README with usage instructions and a requirements.txt for dependencies. No hardcoded IPs or credentials are present; the user must supply the target address. The exploit demonstrates the ability to bypass authentication and perform privileged actions, and the valid session ID obtained could be used for further attacks such as changing passwords or resetting the device.
