Netgear Nighthawk R6700 version 1.0.4.120 does not have sufficient protections for the UART console. A malicious actor with physical access to the device is able to connect to the UART port via a serial connection and execute commands as the root user without authentication.
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
