Authenticated command execution via PPPoE username injection
Published Aug 1, 2025 · Updated May 15, 2026
OS command injection in NETGEAR DGN2200B firmware 1.0.0.36 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The pppoe.cgi handler passes the pppoe_username value into a shell context without neutralizing command delimiters, enabling blind command execution. Valid router-administration credentials are required, and exploitation can fully compromise the appliance while modifying its PPPoE configuration.
