| Weakness | CWE-200 |
The vulnerability
Multiple NETGEAR devices are prone to admin password disclosure via simple crafted requests to the web management server.
Required action
Apply updates per vendor instructions. If the affected device has since entered end-of-life, it should be disconnected if still in use.
US federal civilian agencies were required to act by 29 September 2022 under BOD 22-01. The deadline is a compliance date, not a measure of severity — it says nothing about how dangerous the flaw is to anyone else.
