Router software modification via authenticated command injection
Published Dec 9, 2025 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
OS command injection in NETGEAR Nighthawk R7000P firmware through 1.3.3.154 allows remote authenticated users to modify router software. The firmware inadequately validates administrator-controlled input before OS command execution, but NETGEAR has not disclosed the affected interface, parameter, or handler. Exploitation requires an administrator account and access from the router's local network, and the documented consequence is unauthorized integrity modification without confidentiality or availability impact.
