Technical details

The vulnerability is an insufficient input validation flaw in NETGEAR RAX series router management interfaces. An attacker with network-adjacent access (WiFi credentials) can craft malicious input that crashes the management UI without requiring authentication. The attack is limited to denial of service of the management interface; core router services and WiFi availability are not impacted. Patches are available in fixed firmware versions for all affected models: RAX30 (V1.0.9.92), RAX35 (V1.0.10.72), RAX38 (V1.0.6.106), RAX40 (V1.0.6.106), and RAXE300 (V1.0.10.72).
