A gap in the security (0Day) of D-LINK routers has just been revealed. The gap allows the connection to its online page router, as a device administrator.
Vulnerability affects DIR-652, DIR-615, DIR-827, DIR-615, DIR-657, and DIR-825.
Description:
Open the web interface of the router and try to connect to name “User” or “user”. The address has the following format:
http://:port/wizard_wan.asp
The source page shows the following:
:: view-source port / wizard_wan.asp
If you go down the source code page you will see this:
admin password in plain text (yes means the code is in plain text).
The point is that all the D-LINK models we mentioned above do not need a code accesss to log into the router's settings page.
You can connect with the above names and a blank password. Ports that you can try: 8080 or 8081.
Such a villain user, can connect to your router if it knows your IP (it's very easy to find out), and cause you various problems, such as redirecting you to phishing pages to steal valuable passwords. .
The void (0Day) was just revealed now at seclists.org by Marty. It was originally announced on 25 June of 2019, but today it is available for the entire internet.
Do you own one of the above routers? Change your password immediately if you are still using the factory.
