Security researcher yali-1002 has disclosed several vulnerabilities in D-Link’s DIR-846W routers. These vulnerabilities allow the execution of arbitrary code via specially-crafted requests.

D-Link has acknowledged these vulnerabilities, but noted these devices are no longer supported. As such, no fixes will be released for these vulnerabilities.

What is the impact? #

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities result in devices allowing attackers to perform remote code execution (RCE) by sending special requests to vulnerable devices.

Are updates or workarounds available?  #

D-Link has indicated that the vulnerable systems stopped being supported in 2020 and no further updates will be released. Users are urged to replace vulnerable systems with supported systems.
