Official Description
Actiontec GT784WN modems with firmware before NCS01-1.0.13 have hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain root access by connecting to the web administration interface.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2015-2904 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
