NETGEAR RAX30 lighttpd Misconfiguration Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR RAX30. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the lighttpd HTTP server. The issue results from allowing execution of files from untrusted sources. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-19398.
In NETGEAR Nighthawk X10-R900 prior to 1.0.4.26, an attacker may bypass all authentication checks on the device's "NETGEAR Genie" SOAP API ("/soap/server_sa") by supplying a malicious X-Forwarded-For header of the device's LAN IP address (192.168.1.1) in every request. As a result, an attacker may modify almost all of the device's settings and view various configuration settings.
