Authenticated command execution via unsanitized host input
Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Command injection in NETGEAR WG302v2 5.2.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through the host parameter. During a Basic Settings static-IP update, ui_get_input_value places the attacker-controlled host value into a command context without neutralizing shell syntax. Access to the authenticated management interface is required, and successful exploitation permits commands to run with the appliance service's privileges.
