Login credentials are inadvertently recorded in logs if a Syslog Server is configured in NETGEAR WAX610 and WAX610Y (AX1800 Dual Band PoE Multi-Gig Insight Managed WiFi 6 Access Points). An user having access to the syslog server can read the logs containing these credentials. This issue affects WAX610: before 10.8.11.4; WAX610Y: before 10.8.11.4. Devices managed with Insight get automatic updates. If not, please check the firmware version and update to the latest. Fixed in: WAX610 firmware 11.8.0.10 or later. WAX610Y firmware 11.8.0.10 or later.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems. Impacting 4 products from netgear, from netgear, from netgear and 1 other, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For netgear's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
