FAQ

Questions about CVE-2024-3272

What does this mean?

The nas_sharing.cgi web interface contains hard-coded credentials, so a remote party who knows them can send a crafted HTTP GET request and run arbitrary commands on the device. The impact could include access to sensitive information, changed system settings, or a denial of service.Source: supportannouncement.us.dlink.com, github.com

Am I affected, and how do I check?

The listed models are DNS-320L, DNS-325, DNS-327L and DNS-340L, and the advisory limits the issue to devices that have reached end-of-life or end-of-service. To check a device, look up its model on D-Link's product lifecycle information and confirm whether it is past EOL/EOS; the facts do not list specific firmware versions.Source: supportannouncement.us.dlink.com, github.com

What should I do about it?

No fixed firmware is available for these end-of-life models, so no upgrade target can be named. Replacing the device with a currently supported D-Link product is the course the facts support.Source: supportannouncement.us.dlink.com, github.com

Is it being exploited?

Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-04-11, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data

What if there's no patch?

No patch is available because these products no longer receive firmware updates or security patches. The facts do not describe a vendor workaround, so the only documented step is to limit exposure of the device, such as keeping it off untrusted networks and the internet.Source: supportannouncement.us.dlink.com, github.com
