Vulnerability Note VU#582384 – Multiple Netgear routers are vulnerable to arbitrary command injection

Netgear R7000, firmware version 1.0.7.2_1.1.93 and possibly earlier, and R6400, firmware version 1.0.1.12_1.0.11 and possibly earlier, contain an arbitrary command injection vulnerability. By convincing a user to visit a specially crafted web site, a remote unauthenticated attacker may execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on affected routers. A LAN-based attacker may do the same by issuing a direct request, e.g. by visiting:

http:///cgi-bin/;COMMAND

An exploit leveraging this vulnerability has been publicly disclosed.

This vulnerability has been confirmed in the R7000 and R6400 models. Community reports also indicate the R8000, firmware version 1.0.3.4_1.1.2, is vulnerable. Other models may also be affected.
