Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by command injection by an unauthenticated attacker. This affects WC7500 before 6.5.3.9, WC7520 before 6.5.3.9, WC7600v1 before 6.5.3.9, and WC7600v2 before 6.5.3.9.

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.
