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 localPin field in the /boafrm/formWsc interface, executing commands with root privileges.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, scan your network for D-Link DWR-M961 devices with hardware version C1 and firmware versions before 1.1.5_C1_202607071108. Check the firmware version via the device's web interface or by sending an HTTP request to the device's IP address. Look for the /boafrm/formWsc interface and test the localPin field for command injection attempts.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could take full control of the affected D-Link device, execute arbitrary commands, steal sensitive data, or use the device as a pivot point to attack other systems on the network. This could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or disruption of network services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules. Organizations may face fines, legal penalties, and reputational damage if such vulnerabilities are exploited due to non-compliance with these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the firmware of all affected D-Link DWR-M961 devices to version 1.1.5_C1_202607071108 or later. If an update is not available, isolate the devices from the network to prevent remote exploitation. Monitor network traffic for suspicious activity targeting the /boafrm/formWsc interface.
