If you use one of its routers Netgear στο σπίτι σας ή κάπου αλλού, μάλλον ήρθε η ώρα να αναβαθμίσετε το firmware… H κατασκευάστρια εταιρεία μόλις κυκλοφόρησε ένα τσουνάμι από patches για πάρα πολλά models which constructs and are affected.
Vulnerabilities were identified by Martin Rakhmanov Trustwave, The researcher spent more than a year chasing vulnerabilities in Netgear's firmware.
Updates have been released, and you will be able to install them as soon as possible before bots and botnets start using them. Instructions on how to apply the updates are included in company websites.
Let's see what happened:
Περίπου 17 routers της Netgear διαθέτουν απομακρυσμένη παράκαμψη ταυτότητας μέσω URL. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι κάθε κακόβουλος χρήστης ή τα κακόβουλα προγράμματα μπορούν να αποκτήσουν πρόσβαση στη σελίδα διαμόρφωσης της deviceς σου.
The most important thing is that anyone can gain access, without needing someone code access. How;
By simply adding the characters & genie = 1 at the end of the URL.
So bad news for any portal that has remote access enabled, as anyone on the internet can take advantage of the vulnerability and take ownership of the router. This can change DNS settings, redirect browsers to malicious sites and more.
Do not wait: Directly upgrade your Netgear firmware.
