DESCRIPTION:
Rook Security has reported a vulnerability in Motorola Surfboard
Cable Modem, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the web interface application
allowing users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without
performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be
exploited to e.g. restart the modem by enticing a logged-in
administrator to visit a malicious site.

Do not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while
logged on to the device.
