CVE-2019-12510: NETGEAR Nighthawk x10-r9000 Firmware

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In NETGEAR Nighthawk X10-R900 prior to 1.0.4.26, an attacker may bypass all authentication checks on the device's "NETGEAR Genie" SOAP API ("/soap/server_sa") by supplying a malicious X-Forwarded-For header of the device's LAN IP address (192.168.1.1) in every request. As a result, an attacker may modify almost all of the device's settings and view various configuration settings.

Affected products

• NETGEAR Nighthawk x10-r9000 Firmware: before 1.0.4.26 (fixed in 1.0.4.26)
