CVE-2021-45494

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.5)—

Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by an attacker's ability to read arbitrary files. This affects RBK352 before 4.4.0.10, RBR350 before 4.4.0.10, and RBS350 before 4.4.0.10.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
