NETGEAR WGT624 Wireless DSL Firewall/Router vulnerability



When configured to backup configuration settings, the device will store various 
information in cleartext. Accessing this file could allow an attacker to obtain 
sensitive information which could aid the attacker in compromising the web 
administration interface of the device, DSL/cable account passwords, FTP 
passwords,etc. 

It should be noted that the backup option is not enabled by default, but is a 
common feature used by administrators and attackers of course ;)
