VAR-200412-0825

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:10

NetGear WG602 (aka WG602v1) Wireless Access Point 1.7.14 has a hardcoded account of username "superman" and password "21241036", which allows remote attackers to modify the configuration. Netgear WG602 reportedly contains a default administrative account. This issue can allow a remote attacker to gain administrative access to the device. Netgear WG602 access point with firmware version 1.04.0 is reportedly affected by this issue. It is likely that other versions of the firmware are also vulnerable. It is reported that the new version (1.7.14) of the Firmware for WG602 is vulnerable to this issue as well, however, the username and password for the backdoor account has been changed
