Unauthenticated command execution via puhttpsniff input
Published Dec 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 17, 2025
Command injection in NETGEAR RAX30 firmware before 1.0.9.90 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via puhttpsniff input. The default puhttpsniff service places improperly sanitized attacker-controlled input into an operating-system command context. Access to the router's local network through its WiFi password or an Ethernet connection is required, and exploitation grants control of the device.
