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 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.
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.
