Summary

The NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System is susceptible to an SQL injection vulnerability that permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The flaw specifically resides in the getNodesByTopologyMapSearch function, which fails to adequately validate user-provided strings before integrating them into SQL queries.
