Description

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System 1.6.0.26. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the SettingConfigController class.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-12121.
