NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System getSortString SQL Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System getSortString SQL Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the getSortString method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-23207.
