Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Netgear XR300 version 1.0.3.78

Description The issue is related to a command injection vulnerability in the system name parameter at the "genie dyn.cgi" endpoint. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via a crafted request. The vulnerability is due to the lack of proper neutralization of special elements used in the operating system command when processing the system name parameter. Exploitation of the vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

Recommendations For Netgear XR300 version 1.0.3.78, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "genie dyn.cgi" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the system name parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
