NetgearCVEs & Vulnerabilities

An exploitable firmware modification vulnerability was discovered in certain Netgear products. The data integrity of the uploaded firmware image is ensured with a fixed checksum number. Therefore, an attacker can conduct a MITM attack to modify the user-uploaded firmware image and bypass the checksum verification. This affects WNR612v2 Wireless Routers 1.0.0.3 and earlier, DGN1000v3 Modem Router 1.0.0.22 and earlier, D6100 WiFi DSL Modem Routers 1.0.0.63 and earlier, WNR1000v2 Wireless Routers 1.1.2.60 and earlier, XAVN2001v2 Wireless-N Extenders 0.4.0.7 and earlier, WNR2200 Wireless Routers 1.0.1.102 and earlier, WNR2500 Wireless Routers 1.0.0.34 and earlier, R8900 Smart WiFi Routers 1.0.3.6 and earlier, and R9000 Smart WiFi Routers 1.0.3.6 and earlier.

Netgear routers R7000P before v1.3.3.154, R6900P before v1.3.3.154, R7960P before v1.4.4.94, and R8000P before v1.4.4.94 were discovered to contain a pre-authentication stack overflow.

The web interface of the 'Nighthawk R6220 AC1200 Smart Wi-Fi Router' is vulnerable to a CRLF Injection attack that can be leveraged to perform Reflected XSS and HTML Injection. A malicious unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL. This affects firmware versions: V1.1.0.112_1.0.1, V1.1.0.114_1.0.1.

Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by a buffer overflow by an unauthenticated attacker. This affects RAX40 before 1.0.2.60, RAX35 before 1.0.2.60, R6400v2 before 1.0.4.122, R6700v3 before 1.0.4.122, R6900P before 1.3.3.152, R7000P before 1.3.3.152, R7000 before 1.0.11.136, R7960P before 1.4.4.94, and R8000P before 1.4.4.94.

An exploitable firmware modification vulnerability was discovered on the Netgear XWN5001 Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point. An attacker can conduct a MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack to modify the user-uploaded firmware image and bypass the CRC check, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS). This affects v0.4.1.1 and earlier.

An exploitable firmware modification vulnerability was discovered on the Netgear WNR2000v1 router. An attacker can conduct a MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack to modify the user-uploaded firmware image and bypass the CRC check, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS). This affects v1.2.3.7 and earlier.

An issue in Netgear WNR2000 v1 1.2.3.7 and earlier allows authenticated attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via uploading a crafted firmware image during the firmware update process.

The default console presented to users over telnet (when enabled) is restricted to a subset of commands. Commands issued at this console, however, appear to be fed directly into a system call or other similar function. This allows any authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands on the device.

A support user exists on the device and appears to be a backdoor for Technical Support staff. The default password for this account is “support” and cannot be changed by a user via any normally accessible means.

The “puhttpsniff” service, which runs by default, is susceptible to command injection due to improperly sanitized user input. An unauthenticated attacker on the same network segment as the router can execute arbitrary commands on the device without authentication.

A network misconfiguration is present in versions prior to 1.0.9.90 of the NETGEAR RAX30 AX2400 series of routers. IPv6 is enabled for the WAN interface by default on these devices. While there are firewall restrictions in place that define access restrictions for IPv4 traffic, these restrictions do not appear to be applied to the WAN interface for IPv6. This allows arbitrary access to any services running on the device that may be inadvertently listening via IPv6, such as the SSH and Telnet servers spawned on ports 22 and 23 by default. This misconfiguration could allow an attacker to interact with services only intended to be accessible by clients on the local network.

An exploitable firmware downgrade vulnerability was discovered on the Netgear WPN824EXT WiFi Range Extender. An attacker can conduct a MITM attack to replace the user-uploaded firmware image with an original old firmware image. This affects Firmware 1.1.1_1.1.9 and earlier.

An exploitable firmware modification vulnerability was discovered on the Netgear WPN824EXT WiFi Range Extender. An attacker can conduct a MITM attack to modify the user-uploaded firmware image and bypass the CRC check. A successful attack can either introduce a backdoor to the device or make the device DoS. This affects Firmware Version: 1.1.1_1.1.9.

Command injection vulnerability was discovered in Netgear R6200 v2 firmware through R6200v2-V1.0.3.12 via binary /sbin/acos_service that could allow remote authenticated attackers the ability to modify values in the vulnerable parameter.

Buffer Overflow in Netgear R8000 Router with firmware v1.0.4.56 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service by sending a crafted POST to '/bd_genie_create_account.cgi' with a sufficiently long parameter 'register_country'.

An issue was discovered on NETGEAR R8500, R8300, R7000, R6400, R7300, R7100LG, R6300v2, WNDR3400v3, WNR3500Lv2, R6250, R6700, R6900, and R8000 devices. They are prone to password disclosure via simple crafted requests to the web management server. The bug is exploitable remotely if the remote management option is set, and can also be exploited given access to the router over LAN or WLAN. When trying to access the web panel, a user is asked to authenticate; if the authentication is canceled and password recovery is not enabled, the user is redirected to a page that exposes a password recovery token. If a user supplies the correct token to the page /passwordrecovered.cgi?id=TOKEN (and password recovery is not enabled), they will receive the admin password for the router. If password recovery is set the exploit will fail, as it will ask the user for the recovery questions that were previously set when enabling that feature. This is persistent (even after disabling the recovery option, the exploit will fail) because the router will ask for the security questions.
