Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by command injection by an unauthenticated attacker. This affects WC7500 before 6.5.3.9, WC7520 before 6.5.3.9, WC7600v1 before 6.5.3.9, and WC7600v2 before 6.5.3.9.

NETGEAR has released fixes for a pre-authentication command injection in request_handler.php security vulnerability on the following product models: WC7500, running firmware versions prior to 6.5.3.5; WC7520, running firmware versions prior to 2.5.0.46; WC7600v1, running firmware versions prior to 6.5.3.5; WC7600v2, running firmware versions prior to 6.5.3.5; and WC9500, running firmware versions prior to 6.5.3.5.
