An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2023-28338 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-28338 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi6 Router (RAX30), published on 15 Mar 2023. 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-2023-28338 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi6 Router (RAX30). 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-2023-28338/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28338/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28338","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28338/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28338","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7fqr-w76q-379j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Netgear WiFi router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exhaust router resources by sending large multipart requests, causing a denial of service until reboot.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"rax30_firmware","vendor":"netgear"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Any request send to a Netgear Nighthawk Wifi6 Router (RAX30)'s web service containing a “Content-Type” of “multipartboundary=” will result in the request body being written to “/tmp/mulipartFile” on the device itself.
