Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Access the router web management interfaceOpen a web browser and navigate to the Netgear RAX30 default gateway (typically http://192.168.1.1 or http://routerlogin.net). Look for the firmware version displayed on the login page or in the router status/dashboard area.Affected if The firmware version shown is below 1.0.6.74 (for example, 1.0.6.73 or earlier)
-
Check firmware version in Administration settingsIf logged in, navigate to Administration > Firmware Update or Advanced > Administration > Router Update to view the current firmware version number.Affected if The installed firmware version is less than 1.0.6.74
-
Cross-reference with Netgear support resourcesVisit the official Netgear support page for the RAX30 model and compare the installed version against the version history to confirm whether the fix (1.0.6.74) has been applied.Affected if The firmware version installed on the device is earlier than the patched version 1.0.6.74
The device is affected if the Netgear RAX30 is running any firmware version prior to 1.0.6.74, as this allows an unauthenticated attacker to reset the admin password through the web interface.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.0.6.74
Update the Netgear RAX30 firmware to version 1.0.6.74 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict external access to the device's web management interface using network segmentation or firewall rules.
1.0.6.74
- 1. Visit the official NETGEAR support website and navigate to the RAX30 product page
- 2. Locate the firmware download section
- 3. Download firmware version 1.0.6.74 or later
- 4. Access the router's web management interface at http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1
- 5. Navigate to the Administration > Firmware Update section
- 6. Click 'Check for Updates' or manually upload the downloaded firmware file
- 7. Wait for the firmware upload and installation to complete - do not power off the router
- 8. After reboot, verify the router is running version 1.0.6.74 or later in the Administration section
