AI Analysis

Impact

A remote attack can manipulate PAddress, SubnetMask, or Gateway arguments of the HNAP1 SetStaticRouteSettings API, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow in the strcpy function. The overflow may allow arbitrary code execution on the router.

Affected Systems

D-Link DIR-823G routers running firmware 1.0.2B05_20181207 are affected. The vulnerability exists in the HNAP1 component on the device.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.4 indicates critical severity. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is remote, requiring network connectivity to the router’s management interface. Based on the description, it is inferred that no special privileges are required beyond remote access to the HNAP1 service.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the router firmware to a version that includes the HNAP1 SetStaticRouteSettings fix.
  • If a firmware update is not yet available, restrict access to the router’s management interfaces (e.g., block port 80/443 from external networks).
  • Disable the HNAP1 service or block its RPC endpoints if possible to prevent the overflow exploitation.
