CVE-2017-5521
NETGEAR Multiple Devices
Multiple NETGEAR devices are prone to admin password disclosure via simple crafted requests to the web management server.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2022-09-29. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply updates per vendor instructions. If the affected device has since entered end-of-life, it should be disconnected if still in use.
