Description
NETGEAR Arlo base stations with firmware 1.7.5_6178 and earlier, Arlo Q devices with firmware 1.8.0_5551 and earlier, and Arlo Q Plus devices with firmware 1.8.1_6094 and earlier use a pattern of adjective, noun, and three-digit number for the customized password, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a dictionary attack.
