DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in D-link DIR-823G 1.0.2B05_20181207. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /etc/boa/boa.conf of the component Web Interface. Executing a manipulation can lead to least privilege violation. The attack can be launched remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

AnalysisAI

Least-privilege violation in the D-Link DIR-823G router (firmware 1.0.2B05_20181207) stems from insecure configuration of the Boa web server via /etc/boa/boa.conf, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to abuse over-broad privileges to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Publicly available exploit code exists, but the CVSS 4.0 vector rates attack complexity high (AC:H) and vendor guidance notes exploitation is difficult; there is no public exploit identified as actively exploited (not in CISA KEV). …
