Last modified
CVE-2021-20175 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Netgear Nighthawk R6700 version 1.0.4.120 does not utilize secure communication methods to the SOAP interface. By default, all communication to/from the device's SOAP Interface (port 5000) is sent via HTTP, which causes potentially sensitive information (such as usernames and passwords) to be transmitted in cleartext. EPSS estimates a 0.59% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
