TOP VULNERABILITY THIS WEEK: Remotely Exploitable 0-Day Impacts NETGEAR WNR2000 Routers

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES

SELECTED BY THE TALOS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP

Title: Remotely Exploitable 0-Day Impacts NETGEAR WNR2000 Routers
Description: Researcher discovers several vulnerabilities that could result in remote code execution capabilities in Netgear WNR2000 routers. The vulnerabilities are only exploitable over the LAN by default. However, researcher was able to find more than 10,000 vulnerable routers that have remote administration enabled via Shodan. The vulnerabilities include information leakage, command execution, and a stack buffer overflow that could allow remote code execution.

Title: Critical PHPMailer Flaw leaves Millions of Websites Vulnerable to Remote Exploit
Description: Researcher discovers vulnerabilities in PHPMailer that could result in remote code execution capabilities. PHPMailer is widely used in open source applications such as Word Press and Drupal. The vulnerability, CVE-2016-10033, can be exploited by an attacker using website components that send email such as contact/feedback and registration forms. The attacker is able to execute code provided in the email on the local system.
