Wireless network disclosure via unauthenticated site survey
Published Jul 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Forced browsing in NETGEAR WN604 firmware 20240719 allows remote attackers to read nearby wireless network details without authentication. The siteSurvey.php endpoint returns discovered SSIDs, security types, encryption modes, and channels to direct unauthenticated requests instead of enforcing an administrative session. Network access to the management interface is sufficient, and the reported consequence is limited to disclosure of nearby wireless-network details.
