Description
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to a flaw in the genie_restoring.cgi script, provided by the box's built-in web server. An adjacent attacker can abuse the vulnerable script and extract files and passwords from its filesystem in flash storage or pull files from USB sticks plugged into the router.

Mitigation
Update to the latest version.
