CVE-2024-8460
Dlink
CVE-2024-8460 is an information disclosure vulnerability in D-Link DNS-320 devices, specifically impacting the Web Management Interface. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to potentially access sensitive information by manipulating the getHD/getSer/getSys
arguments in the /cgi-bin/widget_api.cgi
file. While the CVSS score is 5.9, indicating a medium severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 56 suggests a moderate level of risk.
Although exploiting CVE-2024-8460 is considered difficult and the product is end-of-life, the vulnerability is tagged as "In The Wild," meaning active exploits are possible. This information disclosure could allow unauthorized access to system details, potentially leading to further compromise. Given that the D-Link DNS-320 is no longer supported, mitigation primarily involves replacing the device with a more secure alternative.
Description
CVE-2024-8460 is a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 0, indicating a low severity level. However, SOCRadar's unique 'SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score' (SVRS) assigns it a score of 30, highlighting the potential for exploitation. This discrepancy stems from SOCRadar's integration of various 'Vulnerability Intelligence' elements, including Social Media, News, Code Repositories, Dark/Deep Web data, and associations with Threat Actors and malware.
Key Insights
- Active Exploitation: The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, posing an immediate threat to organizations.
- Low CVSS Score: The CVSS score of 0 may underestimate the severity of the vulnerability, as it does not consider the broader context and potential impact.
- SVRS Score: The SVRS score of 30 indicates a moderate level of risk, warranting attention and prompt mitigation.
- Threat Actors: Specific threat actors or APT groups actively exploiting this vulnerability have not been identified at this time.
Mitigation Strategies
- Apply Software Updates: Install the latest software updates and patches to address the vulnerability.
- Enable Security Controls: Implement security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and anti-malware software to prevent exploitation.
- Monitor Network Traffic: Monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and investigate any anomalies.
- Educate Users: Train users on cybersecurity best practices, including recognizing phishing attempts and avoiding suspicious links.
