CVE-2025-53558 affects ZTE Japan K.K. ZXHN-F660T and ZXHN-F660A devices. The products use a common credential shared across installations rather than unique per-device credentials. If an attacker knows or obtains this shared credential, they can authenticate to affected devices. Based on the available information, the core issue is the use of a hard-coded or universally reused credential across deployments, enabling unauthorized administrative or user access to the device management interface.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2025-53558. The main file, 'CVE-2025-53558.py', is a Python script that targets a web application's login mechanism. It simulates a login attempt as the 'admin' user by first retrieving a login token from the target's main page, then crafting a POST request with a hashed password and random number as required by the authentication process. If the exploit is successful, it detects a redirect to 'start.ghtml' and prints the session SID cookie, confirming unauthorized access as the admin user. The script is run from the command line with the target URL as an argument. The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and a disclaimer. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the target URL is supplied by the user at runtime. The exploit demonstrates a network-based attack vector and is a functional POC for the referenced CVE.
