Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by a stack-based buffer overflow by an authenticated user. This affects D7800 before 1.0.1.34, R7500v2 before 1.0.3.26, R7800 before 1.0.2.42, R8900 before 1.0.3.10, R9000 before 1.0.3.10, WNDR4300v2 before 1.0.0.54, and WNDR4500v3 before 1.0.0.54.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 6.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.51%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 41
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
