VAR-201701-0161

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-11-18 15:12

The NETGEAR WNR2000v5 router contains a buffer overflow in the hidden_lang_avi parameter when invoking the URL /apply.cgi?/lang_check.html. This buffer overflow can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution. NETGEARWNR2000v5router is a popular router device. Netgear WNR2000 is prone to the following vulnerabilities: 1. An authentication-bypass vulnerability 2. An information disclosure vulnerability 3. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition. Netgear WNR2000 firmware version 5 is affected; other versions may also be affected

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
