About Qntmnet Qn-I-470 Firmware

CVE-2026-41038 affects Qntmnet Qn-I-470 Firmware, a product from Qntmnet. Before acting, confirm where Qntmnet Qn-I-470 Firmware runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.

What the flaw is

In plain terms: This vulnerability exists in Quantum Networks router due to lack of enforcement of strong password policies in the web-based management interface. An attacker on the same network could exploit this vulnerability by performing password guessing or brute-force attacks against user accounts, leading to unauthorized access to the targeted device.

The weakness class is Weak Password Requirements. The software allows passwords that are easy to guess.

Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw needs local or adjacent access, needs no login, and needs no user interaction. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.

CRITICAL9.5
CVE-2026-85216
Misp-Project Misp

MISP contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its LDAP and LinOTP authentication components due to insufficient validation of user-supplied credentials. The custom LdapAuthenticate and LinOTPAuthenticate components replace CakePHP's FormAuthenticate implementation but did not replicate its credential validation checks. As a result, empty or non-string values could reach the underlying authentication mechanisms. In the LDAP authentication path, an attacker able to identify a valid directory user's email address could submit an empty password. The empty credential could be passed to ldap_bind(), where an LDAP server accepting unauthenticated binds may return a successful result for a valid distinguished name combined with an empty password. MISP could consequently treat the attacker as the corresponding authenticated directory user without verification of the user's password. The issue also affected the LinOTP authentication component. Invalid credential types were not rejected before being processed, and when mixed authentication was enabled, an empty password could be checked against a locally stored MISP password hash. LDAP-provisioned MISP accounts could additionally be created with an empty local password because account creation skipped normal validation, resulting in a hash corresponding to an empty password. This could permit authentication through the local fallback mechanism when such an account was no longer resolved through LDAP. Successful exploitation could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to impersonate an existing MISP user. If the targeted account has administrative or other privileged permissions, the attacker could gain corresponding access to sensitive threat-intelligence data, modify or delete information, alter configuration, or perform other privileged operations. The patch resolves the vulnerability by requiring authentication identifiers and passwords to be valid strings, rejecting empty passwords where they are not explicitly permitted, and assigning a randomly generated local password to LDAP-provisioned accounts instead of storing a hash derived from an empty password.

CVE-2026-33771
Juniper Ctp Operating System

A Weak Password Requirements vulnerability in the password management function of Juniper Networks CTP OS might allow an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to exploit weak passwords of local accounts and potentially take full control of the device. The password management menu enables the administrator to set password complexity requirements, but these settings are not saved. The issue can be verified with the menu option "Show password requirements". Failure to enforce the intended requirements can lead to weak passwords being used, which significantly increases the likelihood that an attacker can guess these and subsequently attain unauthorized access. This issue affects CTP OS versions 9.2R1 and 9.2R2.

CVE-2026-73778
Hpe Arubaos-Cx

A vulnerability exists in the Credential Manager component that may allow for unauthorized administrative access. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability on a device in its factory-default or post-ZTP state before any administrator has configured credentials by providing a predictable factory-default password. Successful exploitation could result in full administrative control of the affected device during the initial setup process.
