Summary

The NETGEAR R6200 and R6300 routers are susceptible to a remote command execution vulnerability that enables unauthorized users to execute arbitrary commands. This security issue arises due to improper input validation within the ipv6_fix.cgi script, specifically in the parameters related to IPv6 configurations. Attackers who gain authenticated access can exploit this flaw by crafting specific payloads using shell metacharacters, leading to potential unauthorized control over the device. Users are encouraged to update their firmware to mitigate this risk.
