CVE-2019-20732

Authenticated command execution

Published Apr 16, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Command injection in NETGEAR D6220 and 33 other device models allows local users with administrative access to execute OS commands. Neither NETGEAR nor MITRE has published the vulnerable interface, parameter, or exact operation that passes untrusted input to a command interpreter. The attack requires high privileges and local reachability; injected commands can read data, make limited changes, or interrupt device service.
