CVE-2025-44658 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In Netgear RAX30 V1.0.10.94, a PHP-FPM misconfiguration vulnerability is caused by not following the specification to only limit FPM to .php extensions. An attacker may exploit this by uploading malicious scripts disguised with alternate extensions and tricking the web server into executing them as PHP, bypassing security mechanisms based on file extension filtering. EPSS estimates a 1.01% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
