Command injection in NETGEAR Nighthawk routers and mesh systems (spanning MR, MS, RAX, RS, and XR series) enables a network-adjacent attacker who has achieved a man-in-the-middle position on the local network to compromise device confidentiality and integrity. Exploitation requires intercepting and modifying local network traffic, making this a high-complexity, adjacency-constrained attack. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and NETGEAR has released per-model firmware patches.
Command injection via attacker-in-the-middle on multiple NETGEAR router and mesh system models allows a network-adjacent adversary who can intercept and modify local traffic to compromise both the confidentiality and integrity of affected devices. The root cause is CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation), meaning the device fails to properly authenticate the remote party during a network exchange - likely firmware update or cloud management traffic - enabling a suitably positioned attacker to inject commands without authenticating to the device. Exploitation is constrained by the requirement for physical network adjacency, active MitM capability, and affected region-specific SKUs; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
System integrity tampering across a broad portfolio of NETGEAR home and small-business networking devices allows authenticated administrators on the local network to manipulate device configuration beyond intended boundaries, classified under CWE-15 (External Control of System or Configuration Setting). The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/PR:H/VI:H) confirms that exploitation is constrained to adjacent network access with high-privilege credentials, yet the integrity impact on the vulnerable system is rated High. No public exploit code exists (SSVC: Exploitation none; CVSS E:U), and NETGEAR has released firmware patches for all affected product lines.
Integrity tampering in NETGEAR router and mesh network firmware allows authenticated administrators on the local network to submit insufficiently validated input, modifying the router's configuration or internal state in unintended ways. Affected devices span at least 27 product lines including MR/MS mesh units and R-series routers, all running firmware below specific patched versions identified by NETGEAR (EUVD-2026-35460). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, SSVC assigns no active exploitation and non-automatable status, and NETGEAR has released patched firmware across all affected product lines.
Insufficient input validation across 30+ NETGEAR router, range extender, and mesh networking models enables local network-adjacent modification of router software and functionality. The CVSS 4.0 vector assigns PR:N (no privileges required) and AV:A (adjacent network), yet the CVE description scopes the vulnerability to 'authenticated administrators' - the 'Authentication Bypass' tag supplied by NETGEAR suggests the input validation flaw may itself circumvent authentication controls, reconciling this apparent conflict. Integrity impact is rated High (VI:H) against the vulnerable system, meaning successful exploitation allows unauthorized firmware or configuration modification. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis (E:U), and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
