NETGEAR XR1000 Trust Management Issue Vulnerability

The NETGEAR xr1000 is a router from Netgear, Inc. A hardware device that connects two or more networks and acts as a gateway between networks, the NETGEAR XR1000 device suffers from a security vulnerability that stems from the fact that NETGEAR XR1000 devices prior to 1.0.0.58 are subject to hard-coded passwords, which can be exploited by an attacker to gain access to a user’s plaintext password by decompiling the hard-coded password.
