CVE-2013-10050

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in multiple D-Link routers (confirmed on DIR-300 rev A v1.05 and DIR-615 rev D v4.13) via the authenticated tools_vct.xgi CGI endpoint. The web interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the pingIp parameter, allowing attackers with valid credentials to inject arbitrary shell commands.

Risk Assessment

Exploitation enables full device compromise, including spawning a telnet daemon and establishing a root shell. The lack of vendor patches and the end-of-life status of affected models increase the risk for organizations.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately disable affected routers and consider replacing them with models that have current support and security patches.

Original NVD description (English source)

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in multiple D-Link routers (confirmed on DIR-300 rev A v1.05 and DIR-615 rev D v4.13) via the authenticated tools_vct.xgi CGI endpoint. The web interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the pingIp parameter, allowing attackers with valid credentials to inject arbitrary shell commands. Exploitation enables full device compromise, including spawning a telnet daemon and establishing a root shell. The vulnerability is present in firmware versions that expose tools_vct.xgi and use the Mathopd/1.5p6 web server. No vendor patch is available, and affected models are end-of-life.
