Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by command injection by an authenticated user. This affects D8500 through 1.0.3.28, R6400 through 1.0.1.22, R6400v2 through 1.0.2.18, R8300 through 1.0.2.94, R8500 through 1.0.2.94, and R6100 through 1.0.1.12.

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.
