CVE-2024-30570
Published: 03 April 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-30570 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor (CWE-200) vulnerability in Netgear R6850 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique System Information Discovery (T1082); ranked in the top 5.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-30570 is an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability in the debuginfo.htm endpoint of the Netgear R6850 router running firmware version 1.1.0.88. The flaw, tracked under CWE-200, resides in the device's web management interface and permits remote access to sensitive data without requiring credentials or user interaction.
An attacker with network reachability can directly request the affected page to retrieve internal configuration or diagnostic details. The CVSS 5.3 score reflects a network-vector attack with low complexity that results in limited integrity impact while leaving confidentiality and availability untouched according to the published vector.
Netgear's security advisory page is referenced in public disclosures, though no specific firmware update or configuration workaround is detailed in the available references; a GitHub report supplies the technical description of the endpoint.
The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.2004 before settling at the current value of 0.1324, indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest that warrants renewed monitoring.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Automated marking applies security attributes to system outputs, making it harder for attackers to exploit unmarked sensitive information leading to unauthorized exposure.
Proper attribute retention and permitted-value enforcement limits unauthorized actors from accessing sensitive information lacking correct labels.
Prevents unauthorized exposure of sensitive information by prohibiting untrusted external systems from processing or storing it.
By enforcing authorization matching prior to sharing, the control reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information to unauthorized actors.
Review and removal of nonpublic information from publicly accessible systems directly prevents exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
Data mining protection mechanisms detect and block unauthorized bulk extraction of sensitive data, directly mitigating exposure to unauthorized actors.
Literacy training teaches users to recognize and avoid actions that result in unauthorized exposure of sensitive information.
Retaining and monitoring training records confirms personnel have completed privacy and security awareness training on handling sensitive data, reducing the chance of unauthorized exposure due to lack of knowledge.
