CVE-2013-10060 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.2) affecting dgn2200b firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in Netgear routers (tested on the DGN2200B model) firmware versions 1.0.0.36 and prior via the pppoe.cgi endpoint. A remote attacker with valid credentials can execute arbitrary commands via crafted input to the pppoe_username parameter. This flaw allows full compromise of the device and may persist across reboots unless configuration is restored.
Why this priority
- High severity
- EPSS top 6%: very likely to be exploited
- Public exploit reference
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
