CVE-2018-19300

Exp

On D-Link DAP-1530 (A1) before firmware version 1.06b01, DAP-1610 (A1) before firmware version 1.06b01, DWR-111 (A1) before firmware version 1.02v02, DWR-116 (A1) before firmware version 1.06b03, DWR-512 (B1) before firmware version 2.02b01, DWR-711 (A1) through firmware version 1.11, DWR-712 (B1) before firmware version 2.04b01, DWR-921 (A1) before firmware version 1.02b01, and DWR-921 (B1) before firmware version 2.03b01, there exists an EXCU_SHELL file in the web directory. By sending a GET request with specially crafted headers to the /EXCU_SHELL URI, an attacker could execute arbitrary shell commands in the root context on the affected device. Other devices might be affected as well.

CVSS metrics for this CVE.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
9.8 3.0 CRITICAL
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
