CVE-2016-10116 describes a vulnerability in NETGEAR Arlo base stations and Arlo Q/Q Plus cameras, where predictable custom passwords (adjective, noun, three-digit number) allow remote attackers to gain access via dictionary attacks. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.1) has a low attack complexity and can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code or active exploitation has been observed, and community discussion is minimal, the inherent weakness in password generation poses a significant risk.
