CVE-2024-5295: (0Day) D-Link G416 flupl self Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
D-Link G416 flupl self Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of D-Link G416 wireless routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the HTTP service listening on TCP port 80. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-21294.
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Compensating control
Because the vulnerable HTTP service is listening on TCP port 80, restrict network access to TCP 80 on affected D-Link G416 devices (e.g., limit to trusted networks/hosts) to reduce exposure to network-adjacent attackers.
