VAR-201411-0385
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-12 23:16ARRIS VAP2500 before FW08.41 does not properly validate passwords, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists within the handling of user authentication. The issue lies in the failure to compare the password when authenticating. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication checks which can then be chained to execute code with root privileges. The Arris VAP2500 is a wireless access device from Arris, USA. Arris VAP2500 is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability
