DescriptionNVD

D-Link DIR-600L Hardware Revision B1 (End-of-Life) contains a hardcoded telnet backdoor. The device starts a telnet daemon at boot via /bin/telnetd.sh with the username "Alphanetworks" and the static password "wrgn61_dlwbr_dir600L" read from /etc/alpha_config/image_sign. The custom telnetd binary accepts a -u user:password flag, and the custom login binary uses strcmp() to validate credentials. Successful authentication grants an unauthenticated attacker on the local network a root shell with full administrative control.  The device has reached End-of-Life (EOL) and will not receive patches.

AnalysisAI

D-Link DIR-600L Hardware Revision B1 routers expose a hardcoded telnet backdoor granting unauthenticated remote attackers root shell access via static credentials ('Alphanetworks' / 'wrgn61_dlwbr_dir600L'). The vulnerability affects End-of-Life devices that will never receive patches, making permanent network isolation or replacement the only remediation options. …
