D-Link DIR-600 Router vulnerability
D-Link DIR-600 routers are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks that allow attackers to modify router configurations by exploiting authenticated administrator sessions.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
An attacker can craft malicious web pages that, when visited by an authenticated router administrator, execute unauthorized configuration changes. This vulnerability has been observed in active exploitation and affects router security posture and network integrity.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
3 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2024-05-16).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.42414 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: D-Link, DIR-600 Router. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) — weakness family: Web / client.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I craft a malicious webpage containing hidden requests that target the router's administrative interface.
Business
Attackers gain ability to reconfigure network devices without direct authentication, increasing breach surface.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I trick an administrator into visiting my page while they maintain an active session with the router.
Business
Administrative session hijacking becomes viable, enabling unauthorized network modifications at scale.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I modify router settings such as DNS, port forwarding, or wireless credentials through forged requests.
Business
Network traffic can be redirected, devices isolated, or credentials compromised, undermining infrastructure security.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
