The vulnerability is in the SMC8014 series of cable modems, which Time Warner installs in some of its cable customers homes. The flaw lies in the way that the modem and router is configured. Once inside, anyone can access the router s web interface and login with the administrator account. Time Warner is working on the problem, and says only a small number about 65,000 of its customers have the modems. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed recently by a blogger named David Chen.
