Descriptions

ARRIS VAP2500 before FW08.41 does not properly validate passwords, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication.

ARRIS VAP2500 anterior a FW08.41 no valida debidamente las contraseñas, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evadir la autenticación.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ARRIS VAP2500. 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.
