CVE-2026-0409: CWE-119 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer in NETGEAR Orbi 370
CVE-2026-0409 is a medium severity vulnerability in NETGEAR Orbi 370 series devices before version 12. 1. 2. 7. It involves improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (CWE-119). An attacker capable of intercepting and tampering with traffic between the router and the Internet could potentially execute commands on the device when the administrator performs certain management actions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in NETGEAR Orbi 370 series devices (prior to V12.1.2.7) is due to improper bounds checking on memory operations (CWE-119). It allows an attacker who can intercept and modify network traffic between the router and the Internet to execute commands on the device during specific administrative management actions. The CVSS 4.8 score reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, high complexity, and partial user interaction required. No official remediation or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with the ability to intercept and tamper with traffic between the affected router and the Internet could execute commands on the device when the administrator performs certain management tasks. This could lead to unauthorized control or disruption of the device's operation. However, exploitation requires network access to intercept traffic and user interaction by the administrator, limiting the ease of exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit exposure by restricting network access to the device's management interfaces and avoid performing administrative actions over untrusted networks where traffic interception is possible.
