CVE-2024-28010

What is CVE-2024-28010?

Certain Aterm routers produced by NEC Corporation are affected by a security vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands via the internet. This risk arises from the presence of hard-coded passwords in the firmware of various models, including WG1800HP4, WG1200HS3, and others in the Aterm series.
