CVE-2025-25246Network attack vector

Unauthenticated remote code execution via undisclosed firmware flaw

Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

Remote code execution in NETGEAR XR1000 before 1.0.0.74, XR1000v2 before 1.1.0.22, and XR500 before 2.3.2.134 allows remote attackers to run code. NETGEAR has not disclosed the affected firmware component, request path, or unsafe operation that converts untrusted input into executable code. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful exploitation executes code on the router and can affect stored data and service availability.
