Descriptions

Netgear Nighthawk R6700 version 1.0.4.120 makes use of a hardcoded credential. It does not appear that normal users are intended to be able to manipulate configuration backups due to the fact that they are encrypted/obfuscated. By extracting the configuration using readily available public tools, a user can reconfigure settings not intended to be manipulated, repackage the configuration, and restore a backup causing these settings to be changed.

Netgear Nighthawk R6700 versión 1.0.4.120, usa una credencial embebida. No parece que usuarios normales puedan manipular las copias de seguridad de la configuración debido a que están cifradas/ofuscadas. Al extraer la configuración usando herramientas públicas fácilmente disponibles, un usuario puede reconfigurar los ajustes que no están destinados a ser manipulados, volver a empaquetar la configuración y restaurar una copia de seguridad causando que estos ajustes sean cambiados.
