Summary

This vulnerability enables remote attackers to delete arbitrary files on installations of the NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System version 1.6.0.26. Although the attack requires authentication, the authentication mechanism can be circumvented. The flaw lies in the processing of the path parameter within the ReportTemplateController class, where user-supplied input is not sufficiently validated before being utilized in file operations. An attacker can exploit this issue to induce a denial-of-service condition on the system, potentially disrupting service availability.
