CVE-2025-5495Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated admin-page access via crafted URL suffix

Published Jun 3, 2025 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Improper authentication in the NETGEAR WNR614 URL handler 1.1.0.28_1.0.1WW allows remote attackers to access protected pages. The handler treats a protected .htm path suffixed with %00currentsetting.htm as authenticated and returns the page without login. Network access to the management interface is sufficient; the demonstrated consequence is unauthorized viewing of protected administration pages.
