Both models aren't available through the Arris website and appear to be discontinued products. Researchers said the flaws affect NVG589 and NVG599 modems. In their research, experts looked at an Arris modem installed on the network of AT&T. The vulnerabilities came to light after a review of the Arris firmware carried out by experts from Nomotion Labs.Īccording to Nomotion, the flaws are found in both the standard Arris firmware, but also in the extra code added on top by OEMs. Security researchers have found five gaping holes in the firmware running on Arris modems, three of which are hardcoded backdoor accounts.Īn attacker could use any of these three accounts to access and take over the device with elevated privileges - even root - install new firmware, and ensnare the modem in a larger botnet.
