CVE-2026-0419
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInsufficient input validation in NETGEAR JR6150 (AC750 WiFi Router 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit released in 2014) allows users connected to the local WiFi Networks to execute operating system commands. NETGEAR JR6150 has reached End-of-Support phase as of 2018 , and no further security updates are planned. NETGEAR strongly recommends replacing these devices with newer NETGEAR models to ensure continued security support and updates. This vulnerability has been identified through firmware emulation in a controlled research environment and has not been verified on production hardware.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceInsufficient input validation in NETGEAR JR6150 router firmware allows authenticated WiFi users to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying Linux-based firmware. This is a command injection vulnerability exploitable by any user with local WiFi network access.

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.
-
Confirm device model is JR6150Log into the router admin interface (typically at 192.168.1.1) or check the device label on the router itself to verify the exact model number matches JR6150Affected if The device model is NETGEAR JR6150 - all firmware versions of this model are affected
-
Check if WiFi is enabledAccess the router's wireless settings page in the admin interface and verify whether the 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi radio is currently turned onAffected if WiFi is enabled and broadcastng - the vulnerability is exploited through authenticated WiFi access, so an active WiFi interface is required for exploitation
-
Verify router is accessible on local networkAttempt to ping the router's local IP address (commonly 192.168.1.1) from a computer connected to the same network to confirm the device is online and respondingAffected if The router is powered on and connected to the network - an active device can be targeted by anyone with WiFi credentials
-
Confirm you have WiFi credentialsDetermine whether you possess the current WiFi network name (SSID) and password used on this routerAffected if You have valid WiFi credentials - the vulnerability requires only authenticated WiFi access, not administrator privileges, meaning any WiFi user can exploit it
If the device is a NETGEAR JR6150 with WiFi enabled and accessible on your network, and you or any WiFi user possess valid WiFi credentials, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.

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 · scopedReplace the End-of-Life (EoL 2018) NETGEAR JR6150 with a supported router model, as no security patches are available. If immediate replacement is not feasible, isolate the device on a restricted VLAN and strictly limit WiFi access to trusted personnel only.
- The NETGEAR JR6150 router reached End-of-Support in 2018 and NETGEAR has explicitly stated no further security updates are planned.
- Replace the End-of-Life JR6150 with a currently supported NETGEAR router model to receive ongoing security patches.
- When selecting a replacement, choose a model that is still within NETGEAR's active support lifecycle to ensure future security updates.
