Secunia

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Netgear WNR2000, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and bypass certain security restrictions.

1) Access to cgi-bin/router-info.htm is not properly restricted to authenticated administrators. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information e.g. the WPA passphrase.

2) Access to cgi-bin/NETGEAR_WNR2000.cfg is not properly restricted, which can be exploited to download and disclose potentially sensitive information.

3) Access to cgi-bin/upg_restore.cgi is not properly restricted to authentication administrators, which can be exploited to change the configuration of the device.

The vulnerabilities are reported in firmware version 1.2.0.8. Other versions may also be affected.
