6 New Vulnerabilities with D-Link Home Routers Let Hackers to Launch Remote Attacks

Security researchers from Palo Alto Networks discovered new six vulnerabilities with D-Link wireless home router let attackers launch remote attacks.

The vulnerabilities found with the DIR-865L model of D-Link routers, those are mostly used in home-based environments. In the current situation as we are working from home these vulnerabilities may pose serious threats.

Researchers absorbed six such vulnerabilities with the newer models of the firmware. Combining vulnerabilities can lead to significant risks.

CVE-2020-13787

If the administrator selects Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) which was deprecated in 2004 for guest wifi network then passwords will be sent cleartext.

Combining all these vulnerabilities allow attackers to run arbitrary commands, exfiltrate data, upload malware, delete data, or steal user credentials, reads Paloalto blog post.

D-Link fixed the vulnerabilities with the router, users are recommended to update with the latest firmware to patch the vulnerabilities.
