Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
NETGEAR GS108PE Prosafe Plus switches version 1.2.0.5
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting a hardcoded password for the
ntgruser account. This can be achieved via requests to specific API endpoints, including (1) "produce burn.cgi", (2) "register debug.cgi", or (3) "bootcode update.cgi", allowing attackers to upload firmware, read, or modify memory contents.Recommendations
For NETGEAR GS108PE Prosafe Plus switches version 1.2.0.5, consider changing the hardcoded password for the
ntgruser account to prevent unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the vulnerable API endpoints "produce burn.cgi", "register debug.cgi", and "bootcode update.cgi" to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
