Adjacent authentication bypass with undisclosed mechanism
Published Dec 26, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Authentication bypass in affected NETGEAR CBR40 and Orbi 750/850 WiFi systems allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to bypass login controls. NETGEAR has not published the affected request handler, authentication check, or input that causes the bypass. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and no prior privileges or user interaction; the advisory does not identify which protected functions become accessible.
