CVE-2024-36792Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthorized network access via exposed WPS PIN

Published Jun 7, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

WPS PIN exposure in NETGEAR N300 Wireless Router firmware 1.1.0.54 allows remote attackers to obtain the router's PIN. The WPS implementation keeps sensitive authentication material in cleartext and exposes the PIN, but public sources do not identify the responsible function or request. No authentication or user interaction is required; possession of the PIN enables unauthorized WPS-based network access, while no availability impact is reported.
