Authenticated configuration modification
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Improper input validation in NETGEAR WAX333 firmware before 12.8.0.100 allows remote authenticated users to modify access-point settings. NETGEAR has not disclosed the affected request, input field, or validation operation that permits the unauthorized configuration write. Exploitation requires a high-privileged account and adjacent local-network access; the documented consequence is limited to configuration integrity.
