A security flaw was discovered in some Netgear routers that could be easily exploited by a remote attacker to gain root access on the device and remotely run code. A researcher who used the online moniker AceW0rm released a proof-of-concept code exploit because Netgear hasnt replied to his ethical disclosure. The vulnerability is quite simple, attackers just need victims info into visiting a website that contains specially crafted malicious code to trigger the vulnerability. Netgear now as publicly admitted the vulnerability and informed its customer that it is aware of the issue.”]
