Magenta - issue with login
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
I got a magenta COMPAL CH7465LG-LC and the login there seems to be a bit different.
Firmware and Hardware:
CH7465LG-NCIP-6.12.18.26-3p7-1-NOSH
5.01
I got the error that no session Id is returned, because the modem returns not a urlencoded string, but something like this:
successful;SID=1025573888
which can't be parsed here:
compal_CH7465LG_py/compal/__init__.py
Line 210 in 46203d2
Additionally they are using a username of NULL and not admin, which mean that one would need to be configurable!
I've run into this issue and tracked it down to this python issue that was resolved with the latest security updates: https://bugs.python.org/issue42967
Basically the parse_qs method no longer splits on ; to avoid certain cachebusting exploits, but this results in the key being read as successful;SID instead of SID. This ends up making the library think the login failed.
This can be fixed either through introspection as per https://bugs.python.org/msg387756 or by creating a very simple parsing method for this specific piece of data.
Additionally they are using a username of NULL and not admin
I dont think the software actually uses the username for anything, it seems to be arbitrary
