How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the Factory Reset Handler function of the file /H5/backup.asp?opt=reset. A malicious actor can manipulate this function to trigger a denial of service remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public, increasing the risk for systems running the affected version of D-Link DI-7003GV2.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a hypothetical HTTP request that might be used to trigger the vulnerability:
GET /H5/backup.asp?opt=reset HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
{ "manipulated_payload": "..." }
Mitigation and Recommendations
Users of D-Link DI-7003GV2 are advised to apply the vendor’s patch to correct this vulnerability. If the patch cannot be promptly applied, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure. However, these are not long-term solutions and do not address the underlying issue. Therefore, applying the vendor’s patch must remain a priority.
