Data disclosure via undisclosed security misconfiguration
Published Apr 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Security misconfiguration in NETGEAR router and extender firmware allows attackers to disclose protected data from adjacent networks. NETGEAR has not published the affected setting, the code path that misapplies it, or the specific data exposed. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and high attack complexity; the documented consequence is disclosure without modification or service interruption.
