Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Telus Actiontec WEB6000Q version 1.1.02.22
Description The issue allows an attacker to gain root level access on the device using the username "root" and password "admin" through the enabled onboard UART headers. This provides an attacker with elevated privileges, potentially leading to further exploitation.
