D-Link Multiple NAS Devices vulnerability
D-Link NAS devices contain hard-coded credentials enabling authenticated command injection and remote code execution.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
Hard-coded credentials in D-Link DNS-series NAS devices allow attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands remotely. The high EPSS score and active exploitation indicate immediate risk to exposed devices.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
6 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 2024-04-11).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.98038 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: D-Link, Multiple NAS Devices. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-798 Hard-coded Credentials — weakness family: Authentication.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 discover or obtain the hard-coded credential embedded in the device firmware.
Business
Authentication controls fail to prevent unauthorized access to administrative functions.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I authenticate to the NAS device using the hard-coded credential over the network.
Business
The device grants me authenticated session access without verifying legitimate ownership.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I inject malicious commands through authenticated interfaces to execute arbitrary code on the device.
Business
The device processes unsanitized input from authenticated users, allowing command execution.
4
Data at risk — exfiltration narrative 4
Attacker
I gain full control of the NAS device and access or modify stored data.
Business
Confidentiality and integrity of data stored on the NAS are compromised; business operations dependent on the device are disrupted.
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.
