Unauthenticated router-settings disclosure via hidden endpoint
Published Apr 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2024
Information disclosure in currentsetting.htm in NETGEAR R6850 firmware 1.1.0.88 allows remote attackers to read router settings. The hidden web-management endpoint omits authentication and returns firmware, model, region, Internet-status, parental-control, SOAP, ReadySHARE, cloud, and login-method fields to a direct HTTP request. Network reachability to the management interface is sufficient; no credentials or user interaction are required, and the documented consequence is read-only disclosure rather than configuration change.
