Successful hack of our SRX5308
Hi, Our SRX5308 was successfully hackedon Sep 27th. They seem to have found a SQL password that keeps users in a an internal database and injected a new user 'app'. We had SYSLOG to another machine ...
It seems like a very old school DB injection during log in. Seems that Netgear does not db_escape their user input. Gawd!
These have been out of support for a little while now. Sadly, Netgear hasnt' seen fit to really replace them properly yet, so some vulnerability was bound to crop up eventually.
This is the reason I upgraded my perfectly working Prosafe FVS336Gv3 VPN routers to the BR500, end of support and firmware upgrades. Sadly, the BR500 is not reliable.
