CVE-2024-35519

Authenticated command execution via unsanitized ap_mode parameter

Published Oct 14, 2024 · Updated Mar 17, 2025

OS command injection in NETGEAR EX6120 1.0.0.68, EX6100 1.0.2.28, and EX3700 1.0.0.96 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. operating_mode.cgi supplies the ap_mode parameter to the acos_service command path without neutralizing command syntax. Exploitation requires access through WiFi or Ethernet plus extender administrator credentials and runs attacker-supplied commands on the device.
