What is CVE-2019-17372?

Certain NETGEAR devices are susceptible to a remote authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to disable all authentication requirements via the genieDisableLanChanged.cgi endpoint.

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access and control over the affected devices, potentially compromising the entire network.
