CVE-2024-23618

Unauthenticated root command execution

Published Jan 25, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025

OS command injection in ARRIS SURFboard SBG6950AC2 firmware 9.1.103aa23 allows remote attackers to execute commands as root. The public advisory does not identify the affected endpoint, parameter, or unsafe command-construction operation. Access to a network adjacent to the gateway is sufficient; successful exploitation grants full root control of the device.
