CVSS v3.1
Official Description
SMC routers SMC7004VWBR running firmware 1.00.014 and SMC7008ABR EU running firmware 1.42.003 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by connecting to it from the same IP address as the administrator who is logged in, then accessing the setup_status.htm or status.HTM pages.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-1685 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
