Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Netgear ReadyNAS Surveillance up to 1.1.2 (Wireless LAN Software). This affects an unknown part of the file cgi-bin/cgi_main. The manipulation of the argument sn with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

cgi-bin/cgi_main in NUUO NVRmini 2 1.7.6 through 3.0.0 and NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance 1.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the sn parameter to the transfer_license command.
