Adjacent-network reading and alteration of data
Published Apr 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Security misconfiguration in affected NETGEAR router, gateway, and extender firmware allows attackers to read or alter data via adjacent-network access. NETGEAR and the CVE record do not disclose the misconfigured setting, affected request path, or operation that exposes or modifies data. An attacker must reach the device from an adjacent network, and the published assessment reports no service interruption.
