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

In Netgear RAX30 V1.0.10.943, the USERLIMITGLOBAL option is set to 0 in multiple bftpd-related configuration files. This can cause DoS attacks when unlimited users are connected.

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the JSON Parsing getblockschedule() functionality of Netgear RAX30 1.0.11.96 and 1.0.7.78. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to code execution. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.

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.

NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi6 Router prior to V1.0.10.94 is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks on all endpoints due to improperly implemented CSRF protections.

NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi6 Router prior to V1.0.10.94 contains a file sharing mechanism that unintentionally allows users with upload permissions to execute arbitrary code on the device.

When uploading a firmware image to a Netgear Nighthawk Wifi6 Router (RAX30), a hidden “forceFWUpdate” parameter may be provided to force the upgrade to complete and bypass certain validation checks. End users can use this to upload modified, unofficial, and potentially malicious firmware to the device.

Any request send to a Netgear Nighthawk Wifi6 Router (RAX30)'s web service containing a “Content-Type” of “multipartboundary=” will result in the request body being written to “/tmp/mulipartFile” on the device itself. A sufficiently large file will cause device resources to be exhausted, resulting in the device becoming unusable until it is rebooted.
