Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in D-Link DIR-605L Wireless N300 Cloud Router firmware versions 1.12 and 1.13 via the getAuthCode() function. The flaw arises from unsafe usage of sprintf() when processing user-supplied CAPTCHA data via the FILECODE parameter in /goform/formLogin. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the device.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in the D-Link DIR-605L Wireless N300 Cloud Router firmware versions 1.12 and 1.13. It occurs in the getAuthCode() function due to unsafe use of sprintf() when handling user-supplied CAPTCHA data via the FILECODE parameter in /goform/formLogin. This flaw allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the device.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the affected router remotely without authentication. This can lead to full compromise of the device, allowing the attacker to control the router, intercept or manipulate network traffic, disrupt network services, or use the device as a foothold for further attacks.
