Local security-setting disclosure and modification
Published Apr 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Security misconfiguration in NETGEAR R8300 and R8500 firmware before 1.0.2.94 allows local users to read and modify security settings. NETGEAR has not published the affected setting, code locus, or incorrect operation that exposes and alters those settings. Local access and difficult attack conditions are required; the reported impact is limited to disclosure and modification without service interruption.
