Executive Summary

This is a command injection vulnerability in D-Link DWR-M961 devices with hardware version C1 and firmware before 1.1.5_C1_202607071108. It exists in the /boafrm/formLtefotaUpgradeFibocom interface where a remote attacker can inject malicious commands into the fota_url field. This leads to arbitrary command execution with root privileges.

Detection Guidance

Check for devices running D-Link DWR-M961 with firmware versions before 1.1.5_C1_202607071108. Inspect network traffic for requests to /boafrm/formLtefotaUpgradeFibocom with fota_url parameter containing suspicious commands.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to gain full control of the device with root privileges. This may allow unauthorized access, data theft, or manipulation of device settings. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, increasing the risk of widespread impact.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and security. Organizations using affected devices may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage due to compromised sensitive data.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the firmware of all D-Link DWR-M961 devices to version 1.1.5_C1_202607071108 or later. Disable remote access to the vulnerable interface if not required. Monitor network traffic for exploitation attempts.
