Interesting wrinkle, Netgear released a new firmware for this router pretty much at the same time as Tenable went public with the bugs. Taking a step back, hardware versions 1 and 2 of this router are too old to fix (End of Life is the official buzzword) so Tenable only examined hardware version 3. Specifically, they found several instances of jQuery libraries relying on version 1.4.2 and they found an old buggy version of the MiniDLNA server software.

In addition to the six bugs, Tenable also found instances of a common problem with routers - the firmware includes old software with known bugs. Also, passwords are stored in plain text. One easily understood issue is that insecure HTTP is used by default on communications to/from the device’s web interface. The danger from the WAN side is not clear. The bugs could let an attacker on the LAN side take complete control of the router. Not what you want from your router vendor. They notified Netgear of the bugs on Sand by Dec 30th had heard nothing back from Netgear about any possible fixes. Netgear leaves vulnerabilities unpatched in Nighthawk routerīy Bill Toulas of Bleeping Computer December 31, 2021Ĭybersecurity company Tenable found six high-risk vulnerabilities in the latest firmware version (1.0.4.120) for the Netgear Nighthawk R6700v3 router. December 29, 2021.īugs in the Nighthawk R6700 that Netgear handles poorly New firmware version 1.0.5.106 is available for the RAX43.

Configuration backups are encrypted with a hard-coded password (RAX50w!a4udk). Like the R6700, this router also uses HTTP by default for its web interface, saves passwords in plain text, includes old buggy jQuery libraries, includes a vulnerable version of the minidlna service and has insufficient UART protection mechanisms. What bugs did Netgear fix? None of your business. Just like the below group of bugs with the R6700, some of which were fixed in 90 days. This article is dated the 30th and Netgear claims to have released new firmware on the 29th. The bugs are in firmware version 1.0.3.96 which was the latest as of December 28, 2021.

A lawsuit alleged that D-Link "failed to take reasonable steps to protect their routers and IP cameras from widely known and reasonably foreseeable risks of unauthorized access." D-Link was also accused of misleading the public about the security of their devices. THE US GOVERNMENT IS MAD AS HELL: In January 2017, the FTC accused D-Link of leaving its routers and webcam devices vulnerable to hackers. Other huge flaws involved UPnP being exposed to the Internet and file sharing on a USB port. Then, of course, there is WPS, the electronic equivalent of a "hack me" sign on your back. Another flaw not to be missed is the Misfortune Cookie from December 2014. A router backdoor was exposed, then instead of being removed, was just better hidden. The port 32764 issue from January 2014 and April 2014 for example. Another reason is cost: router software is developed as cheaply as possible.īIG BUGS: A number of flaws stand out. One reason for this is your ISP, which may have configured the router/gateway in an insecure way, either on purpose, to allow spying, or out of laziness or incompetence. You may be thinking that all software is buggy, but router software is probably worse. Starting April 2018, I also track routers in the news which details the exploitation of router flaws. This page documents the existence of bugs in routers. On the whole, the software in these routers is buggy as heck. If you care about the security of your router, and you should, it is best to avoid consumer grade routers.
