AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the uploadify.php script on the D-Link DNS-320 1.0.2 firmware allows an adversary to manipulate the Malicious Handler argument and upload arbitrary files without restriction. This weakness could enable an attacker to place executable or script files on the device, potentially leading to remote code execution or additional privilege escalation. The vulnerability is tied to the absence of proper input validation and access control, as identified by CWE-434 and CWE-284.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the D-Link DNS-320 router running firmware version 1.0.2. No other versions or products are listed as vulnerable in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation in the current environment. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be remote via the web interface, as the flaw resides in an externally accessible script and a publicly available exploit has been noted.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Verify the firmware version of the DNS-320 and confirm it is 1.0.2 or earlier, which is known to be vulnerable.
  • Check the D-Link support website for any firmware updates that address the upload functionality and apply the latest available firmware.
  • If a firmware update is not available, isolate the router by restricting inbound traffic to the upload URL through a firewall or network ACL, effectively blocking external upload attempts.
  • Disable the upload feature or replace the vulnerable script if the device allows custom configuration, thereby removing the attack surface.
  • Monitor router logs for suspicious file upload activity and employ intrusion detection tools to detect attempts to exploit the vulnerability.
