Vulnerable devices are no longer supported by the vendor and may pose a risk<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vladimir Razov, an expert from the <\/strong>PT SWARM<\/strong><\/a> team, has <\/strong>discovered<\/strong> <\/strong>a vulnerability in several models of D-Link routers. According to Mordor Intelligence, D-Link <\/strong>is one of the top three<\/strong><\/a> Wi-Fi router manufacturers in the world. The vendor has been notified of the threat in line with the responsible disclosure policy and <\/strong>recommends<\/strong><\/a> that users switch to more recent devices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vulnerability, which is registered as BDU:2024-06211<\/a> with a CVSS 3.0 score of 8.4, affects the following D-Link models: DIR-878, DIR-882, DIR-2640-US, DIR-1960-US, DIR-2660-US, DIR-3040-US, DIR-3060-US, DIR-867-US, DIR-882-US, DIR-882\/RE, DIR-882-CA, and DIR-882-US\/RE. At the time of the research, vulnerable routers could be discovered using search engines in the United States, Canada, Sweden, China, Indonesia, and Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the manufacturer, these models are no longer supported<\/a>. D-Link recommends retiring the outdated devices and replacing them with supported devices that receive firmware updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If this vulnerability is successfully exploited, a malicious user authorized in the router’s web interface can compromise the entire device and gain access to all traffic passing through it,”<\/em> says Vladimir Razov, Web Application Security Analyst at PT SWARM, the offensive security department at Positive Technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a temporary measure to mitigate the threat, Vladimir Razov recommends using OpenWrt (an open-source embedded operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed specifically for routers) or changing the login credentials for accessing the router’s web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Positive Technologies helped<\/a> address vulnerabilities in Zyxel routers and other Zyxel devices. Positive Technologies also enhanced its PT Industrial Security Incident Manager (PT ISIM<\/a>) with an additional expertise pack, enabling cybersecurity teams to detect attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in MikroTik routers and Cisco switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
