Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by command injection. This affects R6400 before 1.0.1.24, R6700 before 1.0.1.26, R6900 before 1.0.1.28, R7000 before 1.0.9.10, R7000P before 1.0.1.16, R6900P before 1.0.1.16, and R7800 before 1.0.2.36.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
