Summary

CVE-2024-35517 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Netgear Xr1000 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.4 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Netgear XR1000 firmware version 1.0.0.64 contains a command-injection vulnerability in the usb_remote_smb_conf.cgi endpoint. The flaw is triggered through the share_name parameter and is tracked as CWE-77. The issue received a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4, reflecting adjacent-network access, low attack complexity, and high-privileged authentication requirements that nevertheless permit impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with changed scope.

An attacker who already possesses administrative credentials and can reach the device over an adjacent network can supply a crafted share_name value that results in arbitrary command execution on the router. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to read or modify sensitive data, alter device configuration, or disrupt router operation, with effects that may extend beyond the device itself because of the changed scope.

The single public reference is a GitHub repository entry that documents the vulnerability details; no vendor advisory or firmware patch information is supplied in the available data. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1090 with no material increase after disclosure.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.
