CVE-2014-100005D-Link DIR-600 Router Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Vulnerability
CVE-2014-100005 is a cross-site request forgery in D-Link DIR-600 Router, rated high (8.0 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: Exploited in the wild: listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Analyzed
What it is
Another site can make a signed-in user's browser send a request the user never meant to send.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it from the same local network segment, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
Is it being exploited?
CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-05-16: it is being exploited in the wild. EPSS estimates a 43% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Treat it as urgent: it is on CISA's KEV list. CISA's deadline for US federal agencies: 2024-06-06.
- Apply the fix for D-Link DIR-600 Router: the patch and release notes are linked below.
- Segment the networks that can reach it.
- Check exposed instances for signs of compromise, not only for the version.
Description from NVD
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in D-Link DIR-600 router (rev. Bx) with firmware before 2.17b02 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) create an administrator account or (2) enable remote management via a crafted configuration module to hedwig.cgi, (3) activate new configuration settings via a SETCFG,SAVE,ACTIVATE action to pigwidgeon.cgi, or (4) send a ping via a ping action to diagnostic.php.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Network edge devices: VPNs, firewalls, routers and gateways. They sit between the internet and internal networks, so a flaw in one is often the first step into everything behind it.
- Operating systems on servers, workstations or devices. Everything on the host inherits the flaw.
- Web front ends and single-page apps. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
- Admin consoles served to a browser. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
Trust boundaries in play
- Local network segment. The attacker must share a network segment with the target.
- Between a user's browser and the web application. An attacker who crosses it can act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does D-Link DIR-600 Router run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which network segments can reach them?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
