Improper certificate
validation in firmware update logic in NETGEAR RAX30 (Nighthawk AX5 5-Stream
AX2400 WiFi 6 Router) and RAXE300 (Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band
WiFi 6E Router) allows attackers with the ability to intercept and
tamper traffic destined to the device to execute arbitrary commands on the
device.
Devices
with automatic updates enabled may already have this patch applied. If not,
please check the firmware version and update to the
latest.
Fixed in:
RAX30 firmware
1.0.14.108 or later.
RAXE300 firmware
1.0.9.82 or later
NETGEAR RAX30 logCtrl Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR RAX30 routers. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
The specific flaw exists within the logCtrl action. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-19825.
NETGEAR RAX30 SOAP Request SQL Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR RAX30 routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of specific SOAP requests. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-19754.
