RBE970: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVE-2026-0411 is a high-severity exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor vulnerability in RBE970 from NETGEAR, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.0 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 6.3.8.11 as the first without the flaw, so updating RBE970 to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update RBE970 to 6.3.8.11 or a later version.
- Update RBR350 to V4.4.2.2 or a later version.
- Update RBR760 to V6.3.8.11 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on kb.netgear.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

The underlying weakness: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
