CVE-2020-27866
This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of NETGEAR R6020, R6080, R6120, R6220, R6260, R6700v2, R6800, R6900v2, R7450, JNR3210, WNR2020, Nighthawk AC2100, and Nighthawk AC2400 routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the mini_httpd service, which listens on TCP port 80 by default. The issue results from incorrect string matching logic when accessing protected pages. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-11355.

"value": "Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los atacantes adyacentes a la red saltarse la autenticación en las instalaciones afectadas de los routers NETGEAR R6020, R6080, R6120, R6220, R6260, R6700v2, R6800, R6900v2, R7450, JNR3210, WNR2020, Nighthawk AC2100 y Nighthawk AC2400. No se requiere autenticación para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. El fallo específico existe en el servicio mini_httpd, que escucha en el puerto TCP 80 por defecto. El problema se debe a una lógica incorrecta de coincidencia de cadenas al acceder a páginas protegidas. Un atacante puede aprovechar esto junto con otras vulnerabilidades para ejecutar código en el contexto de root. Era ZDI-CAN-11355"
