What is CVE-2020-35223?

The CSRF protection mechanism within the web administration panel of NETGEAR JGS516PE and GS116Ev2 network switches is susceptible to being bypassed. This vulnerability arises when the CSRF token parameter is omitted from HTTP requests, allowing potential attackers to exploit the administration interface without proper authentication safeguards. Such a weakness can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of legitimate users, potentially compromising the integrity and availability of the network device.
