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 have a default password of 12345678, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access after a factory reset or in a factory configuration.
Exploitation
Not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue as of 2026.09.04. That is an absence of confirmed public exploitation, not evidence that exploitation has not occurred.
