Low priorityMedium6.3EPSS not scored yet

CVE-2026-123180 is a missing authentication in NETGEAR RAX30, rated medium (6.3 on CVSS 4.0).

Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.

Published · Updated · NVD status: Received

What it is

A function that should require sign-in can be called by anyone.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it from the same local network segment, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.

What an attacker gains

A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet.

What to do

  1. Upgrade NETGEAR RAX30 to v1.0.15.110 or later.
  2. Segment the networks that can reach it.

Description from NVD

A missing authentication vulnerability in the listed NETGEAR RAX models allows an network adjacent attacker who has authenticated to wifi network to obtain sensitive information and tamper with device configuration, including administrator credentials, without authenticating to the device. This affects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the router.

What this means for your architecture.

A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.

Components it touches

  • Network edge devices: VPNs, firewalls, routers and gateways. They sit between the internet and internal networks, so a flaw in one is often the first step into everything behind it.
  • Sign-in, session and token handling. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
  • Identity providers and SSO. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.

Trust boundaries in play

  • Local network segment. The attacker must share a network segment with the target.
  • Between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions. An attacker who crosses it can act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.

Questions to answer about your own systems

  • Where does NETGEAR RAX30 run in your systems, and at which version?
  • Which network segments can reach them?
  • What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
