Directory Traversal Vulnerability in Netgear DG632 Router

CVE-2009-2258

Summary

The vulnerability in the administrative web interface of the Netgear DG632 router allows remote attackers to exploit directory traversal techniques through the manipulation of the 'nextpage' parameter. By utilizing a '../' sequence, an attacker can potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive directories and files on the device, which can lead to further exploitation of the router's configuration and data. This highlights the necessity for secure coding practices in web interfaces to prevent unauthorized access.
