What is CVE-2008-1524?

The SNMP service on ZyXEL Prestige routers, specifically models P-660 and P-661, has a serious configuration issue, using 'public' as the default community string for both read and write operations. This misconfiguration allows remote attackers to execute administrative actions through SNMP, potentially compromising sensitive information. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to read details such as the Dynamic DNS service password or manipulate system variables displayed on the System Status page, including the insertion of XSS sequences.
