Official Description
Arris DG860A, TG862A, and TG862G devices with firmware TS0703128_100611 through TS0705125D_031115 have predictable technician passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via the web management interface, related to a "password of the day" issue.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2009-5149 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.
