CVE-2025-9133 is a missing authorization vulnerability in Zyxel ZLD firmware affecting ATP series, USG FLEX series, USG FLEX 50(W) series, and USG20(W)-VPN series devices within the specified firmware ranges. The flaw exists in the authentication and authorization flow of the web management interface, and potentially other management endpoints, when two-factor authentication is enabled. After a user successfully completes only the first authentication stage with valid username and password credentials, the device creates a session object. Due to improper authorization logic, that pre-2FA session is not adequately restricted and can be used to access sensitive resources before second-factor verification is completed. As a result, a semi-authenticated attacker can view and download the device system configuration.
