Netgear Nighthawk R6700 version 1.0.4.120 does not utilize secure communication methods to the web interface. By default, all communication to/from the devices web interface is sent via HTTP, which causes potentially sensitive information (such as usernames and passwords) to be transmitted in cleartext.
Weakness
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
