CVE-2017-5521

TITLE

plural  NETGEAR  Password disclosure vulnerability in device products

DESCRIPTION

An issue was discovered on NETGEAR R8500, R8300, R7000, R6400, R7300, R7100LG, R6300v2, WNDR3400v3, WNR3500Lv2, R6250, R6700, R6900, and R8000 devices. They are prone to password disclosure via simple crafted requests to the web management server. The bug is exploitable remotely if the remote management option is set, and can also be exploited given access to the router over LAN or WLAN. When trying to access the web panel, a user is asked to authenticate; if the authentication is canceled and password recovery is not enabled, the user is redirected to a page that exposes a password recovery token. If a user supplies the correct token to the page /passwordrecovered.cgi?id=TOKEN (and password recovery is not enabled), they will receive the admin password for the router. If password recovery is set the exploit will fail, as it will ask the user for the recovery questions that were previously set when enabling that feature. This is persistent (even after disabling the recovery option, the exploit will fail) because the router will ask for the security questions. NETGEARR8500, R8300, R7000, R6400, R7300, R7100LG, R6300v2, WNDR3400v3, WNR3500Lv2, R6250, R6700, R6900 and R8000 are Netgear's wireless router products. There are information disclosure vulnerabilities in several NETGEAR products. Successful exploits will allow attackers to obtain sensitive information, such as credentials, that may aid in further attacks.

This mechanism does not work correctly on the very first request to "passwordrecovered.cgi" and the token is not properly checked, this means that any TOKEN value will result in disclosure of the password.
