CVE-2015-7257 describes a critical vulnerability in ZTE ADSL ZXV10 W300 modems (specific firmware versions) allowing authenticated non-administrator users to hijack the administrator account. This is achieved by intercepting a password change request and manipulating the username from "support" to "admin." With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), this vulnerability presents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector, low privileges required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry exists, and despite its age, the high FAUCET Risk Score suggests its potential for impact.
