CVE-2015-7289

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Arris DG860A, TG862A, and TG862G devices with firmware from TS0703128_100611 to TS0705125D_031115 have a hardcoded administrator password derived from a serial number. This makes it easier for remote attackers to gain access via the web management interface, SSH, TELNET, or SNMP.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that remote attackers can easily gain access to the devices, potentially leading to unauthorized management and security breaches within the organization's network.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the device firmware to the latest version that addresses the hardcoded password issue and to implement additional security measures such as changing default passwords and restricting access to management interfaces.
