An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-40620 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Netgear R6260 Firmware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40620/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40620/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40620","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40620/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40620","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cgh-w254-67rw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NETGEAR router firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can intercept update requests to deliver malicious packages due to improper TLS validation, gaining arbitrary code execution on NETGEAR routers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"r6230_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"r6260_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"r7000_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"r8900_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"r9000_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"rax120_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"rax120v2_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"rbr20_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"rbs20_firmware","vendor":"netgear"},{"product":"xr300_firmware","vendor":"netgear"}],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"FunJSQ, a third-party module integrated on some NETGEAR routers and Orbi WiFi Systems, does not properly validate TLS certificates when downloading update packages through its auto-update mechanism.
