What is CVE-2025-44658?

A PHP-FPM misconfiguration vulnerability has been identified in the Netgear RAX30 router, where the system fails to restrict script execution to only .php file extensions. This flaw allows an attacker to upload malicious scripts disguised as alternate formats. By exploiting this misconfiguration, malicious actors can trick the web server into executing these scripts as PHP, potentially leading to remote code execution, information disclosure, or an overall system compromise. It is crucial for users to ensure their device's firmware is up to date to mitigate these risks.
