Flaws affecting top-selling Netgear routers disclosed

Security firm Trustwave has disclosed the details of several vulnerabilities affecting Netgear routers, including devices that are top-selling products on Amazon and Best Buy.

The flaws were discovered by researchers in March 2017 and they were patched by Netgear in August, September and October. One of the high severity vulnerabilities has been described as a password recovery and file access issue affecting 17 Netgear routers and modem routers, including best-sellers such as R6400, R7000 (Nighthawk), R8000 (Nighthawk X6), and R7300DST (Nighthawk DST).

After being dogged by some firmware glitches last year, Netgear has taken the decision to keep an eye on what its high-end router is doing, including IP and MAC addresses of your activity.

Netgear routers found vulnerable to exposing passwords, being hacked and formed into a botnet

New vulnerabilities in Netgear routers could potentially allow hackers to hijack devices and expose passwords. The vulnerabilities could also allow malicious entities to recruit compromised devices into a botnet and use them to launch large-scale cyberattacks.

Trustwave security researcher Simon Kenin uncovered that the vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely if the routers' management options are enabled. "We have found more than ten thousand vulnerable devices that are remotely accessible. The real number of affected devices is probably in the hundreds of thousands, if not over a million," Kenin said in a Trustwave blog.
