Adjacent-network access via security misconfiguration
Published Apr 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Security misconfiguration in NETGEAR R6100, R7500, R7500v2, R7800, and WNR2000v5 firmware before the listed fixes allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to affect device security settings. The vendor record identifies incorrect security-setting configuration but does not disclose the specific setting, code locus, or operation on attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the router at low impact levels.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
