Unauthorized system modification by adjacent privileged users
Published Apr 27, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Security misconfiguration in NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 before 6.9.3 allows attackers to make unauthorized system changes. NETGEAR has not published the affected setting, its insecure value, or the operation that accepts or applies attacker-controlled data. Exploitation requires high privileges and adjacent-network access; published scoring limits the impact to integrity, with no confidentiality or availability loss.
