Until a patch is released, restricting local access to trusted users and minimizing the need for user interaction with untrusted files may reduce risk.

Description

CVE-2026-40004 is a medium severity vulnerability in the ZTE ZXCLOUD iRAI client (version ZXCLOUD-iRAI-ClientV7.2X) involving an uncontrolled search path element related to openssl.cnf. This flaw allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges by exploiting the improper handling of the OpenSSL configuration file. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction, with a high attack complexity and limited privileges initially. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
