CVE-2021-29082

Unauthenticated sensitive information disclosure

Published Mar 23, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Sensitive information disclosure in NETGEAR Orbi WiFi firmware allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive data. NETGEAR has not published the affected component, the exposed data, or the operation that discloses it. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access without authentication; the vendor's impact vector also reports integrity and service effects that its disclosure-only description does not explain.
