An insufficient input validation vulnerability in the website blocking feature (Block Sites) of the listed NETGEAR router models allows a network-adjacent attacker with access to the local network (such as through Wi-Fi credentials) to run unauthorized commands on the router. This vulnerability could affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected router. It applies only when the Block Sites feature is turned on.
