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 allows a remote attacker to inject malicious commands via the ntpServerIp1 field in the /boafrm/formNtp interface, executing commands with root privileges.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your D-Link DWR-M961 device has firmware version before 1.1.5_C1_202607071108. Test the /boafrm/formNtp interface by sending a crafted request to the ntpServerIp1 field. If the device executes arbitrary commands, it is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could take full control of the affected D-Link device, install malware, steal data, or use it as a pivot point to attack other systems on the network. Unauthorized access with root privileges means complete compromise of the device.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations using affected devices may face compliance violations, fines, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the firmware to version 1.1.5_C1_202607071108 or later. If an update is unavailable, isolate the device from untrusted networks to prevent remote exploitation.
