Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi6 Router versions prior to V1.0.10.94

Description The issue is related to the file sharing mechanism in the NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi6 Router, which allows users with access to this feature to access arbitrary files on the device. This is due to insufficient access control in the file sharing component of the router's software. Exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to gain access to arbitrary files.

Recommendations For versions prior to V1.0.10.94, update to version V1.0.10.94 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the file sharing feature until a patch is applied.
