Multiple 2Wire Routers Access Validation Vulnerability

Multiple 2Wire routers are prone to an access-validation vulnerability because they fail to adequately authenticate users before performing certain actions. Unauthenticated attackers can leverage this issue to change the password of arbitrary user accounts on the router. Successful attacks will completely compromise affected devices.

Mitigation:

Users should ensure that their routers are running the latest version of firmware available from the vendor.
