Linksys WAG200G through 1.01.06 contains a weak password change mechanism that allows attackers to change the administrator password without supplying the current password. Attackers with access to an authenticated administrator browser session can set a new password to lock out the legitimate administrator and take persistent device control.

Weakness

When setting a new password for a user, the product does not require knowledge of the original password, or using another form of authentication.
