CVE-2020-35783
The NSDP protocol version allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain all the switch configuration parameters by sending the corresponding read requests.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by lack of access control at the function level. This affects JGS516PE before 2.6.0.48, GS116Ev2 before 2.6.0.48, JGS524Ev2 before 2.6.0.48, and JGS524PE before 2.6.0.48. The NSDP protocol version allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain all the switch configuration parameters by sending the corresponding read requests.
