CVE-2024-11068
Dlink
CVE-2024-11068: D-Link modem vulnerability allows unauthorized password modification. This flaw enables remote attackers to change user passwords on D-Link DSL6740C modems without authentication. The Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs (CWE-648) permits gaining access to Web, SSH, and Telnet services using the compromised user accounts. While the CVSS score is 0, SOCRadar's SVRS of 30 indicates a moderate risk. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise. This is a significant security concern for users of the D-Link DSL6740C. Immediate patching or mitigation is advisable to prevent unauthorized access.
Description
CVE-2024-11068 affects the D-Link DSL6740C modem, exploiting an Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs vulnerability (CWE-648). This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to modify any user's password through the API, granting them access to Web, SSH, and Telnet services using the compromised account. While the CVSS score is high (9.8), the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 40, indicating a moderate risk level requiring attention and mitigation.
Key Insights
- High Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could grant attackers full control over the modem and the network it connects to, potentially enabling data theft, malware installation, and denial-of-service attacks.
- Remote Exploitation: This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without the need for any prior access or authentication, making it easier for attackers to exploit.
- Unpatched Devices: The vulnerability affects D-Link DSL6740C modems, and users need to ensure their devices are updated to the latest firmware version to patch the vulnerability.
- No Known Exploitation: Currently, there are no known active exploits or threat actors targeting this vulnerability. However, the simplicity of the exploit and the potential impact make it a significant security concern.
Mitigation Strategies
- Firmware Update: Immediately update the D-Link DSL6740C modems to the latest firmware version, which should contain the necessary patch to address the vulnerability.
- Change Default Credentials: Change the default credentials of the modem to strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication if possible.
- Network Segmentation: Implement network segmentation to isolate the modem from other critical systems and limit the impact of a potential compromise.
- Regular Security Audits: Regularly perform security audits of the modem and network infrastructure to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
