Description

This module will collect the password for the `admin` user.
The exploit will not complete if password recovery is set on the router.
The password is received by passing the token generated from `unauth.cgi`
to `passwordrecovered.cgi`. This exploit works on many different NETGEAR
products. The full list of affected products is available in the 'References'
section.
