Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Netgear Nighthawk (the affected version is unknown). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown code of the component Telnet Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-77.
