This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Netgear. A successful attack can lead to unauthorized information disclosure.
The NETGEAR WNR2000v5 router leaks its serial number when performing a request to the /BRS_netgear_success.html URI. This serial number allows a user to obtain the administrator username and password, when used in combination with the CVE-2016-10176 vulnerability that allows resetting the answers to the password-recovery questions.
