VAR-201407-0439
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-12 23:27NETGEAR GS108PE Prosafe Plus switches with firmware 1.2.0.5 have a hardcoded password of debugpassword for the ntgruser account, which allows remote attackers to upload firmware or read or modify memory contents, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via a request to (1) produce_burn.cgi, (2) register_debug.cgi, or (3) bootcode_update.cgi. Netgear GS105PE Prosafe Plus Switch firmware version 1.2.0.5 contains hard-coded credentials. (CWE-798). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the authentication mechanism and access the affected device without authorization. This may aid in further attacks. The vulnerability is caused by the use of a hard-coded password (debugpassword) for the ntgruser account
