MITRE ATT&CK

1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires (1) network reachability to the DAP-2610 web management interface and (2) valid authenticated access to that interface (PR:L) - the description explicitly states 'an attacker with authenticated access.' Exploitation then targets injectable parameters at the /index.xgi endpoint on firmware up to 2.06B08r099. Limiting factors: the management interface should not be exposed to untrusted networks/the internet, so realistic exposure depends on whether admin credentials are default/weak or the AP UI is reachable by lower-trust users; SSVC 'Automatable: no' indicates it cannot be trivially mass-exploited. No special non-default feature toggle is required beyond having the web interface enabled.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.8 High) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity command injection requiring only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, yielding total compromise of the device - consistent with the SSVC 'Technical Impact: total' rating. However, several signals temper the raw score: SSVC marks Exploitation as 'poc' (proof-of-concept, not active exploitation) and Automatable as 'no', meaning it is not amenable to mass/wormable exploitation and instead requires case-by-case targeting. No EPSS score is provided and the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of widespread real-world exploitation. The key gating factor is PR:L: the attacker must already hold valid credentials to the DAP-2610 web interface, so this is a post-authentication device takeover rather than a pre-auth internet worm. Net assessment: a genuinely severe flaw once an attacker has admin/user web access (e.g., default or weak credentials, or a chained auth bypass), but real-world priority is moderated by the authentication requirement, non-automatable exploitation, PoC-only status, and the niche access-point footprint. Note: affected-version data is weak - EUVD lists only 'n/a n/a' and NVD references are generic D-Link bulletin landing pages, so precise fixed-version confirmation is not available from the provided data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained credentials to the DAP-2610 web management interface (via default/weak passwords, credential reuse, or a separate auth bypass) sends a crafted request to the /index.xgi endpoint with malicious values in the injectable parameters. The injected shell metacharacters are passed to a system call, executing arbitrary commands with device (typically root-level) privileges. SSVC indicates PoC exploit code exists, though the attack is not automatable and requires prior authentication and network reachability to the management interface.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 25, 2026

Authenticated command injection in the D-Link DAP-2610 wireless access point (firmware up to 2.06B08r099) allows a user with valid low-privilege credentials on the web management interface to execute arbitrary system commands by supplying crafted parameters to the /index.xgi endpoint, giving full control of the device (CVSS 3.1 base score 8.8, C:H/I:H/A:H). The issue is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no user interaction, but authentication is required per the CVSS vector (PR:L), and CISA's SSVC assessment marks it as not automatable, so mass exploitation is unlikely. Publicly available exploit code exists; CISA KEV does not list this CVE, so active exploitation has not been confirmed at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No fixed firmware version is specified in the available input data, so the first step is to check D-Link's advisory SAP10428 (https://supportannouncement.us.dlink.com/security/publication.aspx?name=SAP10428) and the D-Link security bulletin page (https://www.dlink.com/en/security-bulletin/) for the vendor-designated patched release and upgrade the DAP-2610 from 2.06B08r099 or earlier to that version; do not assume a specific fix build number beyond what the vendor publishes. Until an upgrade is possible, compensating controls should target the authenticated attack precondition: ensure the web management interface is not reachable from untrusted networks or the internet (management should live on a dedicated, firewalled VLAN), replace any default or weak administrator credentials that would let an attacker reach the injectable parameters, and restrict management-UI access to a small set of trusted administrative hosts. Note the trade-offs: network-isolating the UI means remote administration must go through a VPN or jump host, and rotating credentials may disrupt integrated management tooling. If the web interface is not needed at all, disabling or blocking it removes the attack surface entirely at the cost of local management only.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command), meaning the device's web management application passes user-supplied parameter values into a system shell without adequate sanitization or escaping. The /index.xgi endpoint is a CGI-style handler in the DAP-2610 firmware's HTTP management interface, and injectable parameters processed there ultimately reach an OS command invocation, allowing an authenticated operator to break out of the intended argument context and run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web service. Because the affected component is the device's own management plane rather than a separate service, a successful injection yields total compromise of the access point, consistent with the SSVC 'Technical Impact: total' rating. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U indicates the attack crosses the network with no special conditions and no user interaction, but is gated behind the low-privilege authenticated session; the SSVC 'Automatable: no' entry further indicates the exploit cannot be trivially scripted against the whole install base. No CPE identifiers or detailed version strings were supplied in the source data (EUVD lists the affected version field as 'n/a'), so the affected scope is defined by the vendor advisory rather than by an enumerated CPE set.

DescriptionCVE.org

D-Link DAP-2610 up to 2.06B08r099 contains an authenticated command injection vulnerability within the web interface at the /index.xgi endpoint. An attacker with authenticated access can exploit some parameters to execute arbitrary system commands.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The D-Link DAP-2610 wireless access point, running firmware 2.06B08r099 or earlier, contains an authenticated command injection that allows a low-privilege web management user to take full control of the device. Because these access points often sit at the edge of corporate wireless networks, a compromised unit could disrupt Wi-Fi service, expose network traffic, or serve as a foothold for lateral movement. Publicly available exploit code exists, and leadership should treat unpatched DAP-2610 deployments as an urgent containment priority.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict DAP-2610 web management to a trusted management VLAN/VPN; disable WAN/Internet management; rotate credentials and enforce least privilege; remove unnecessary low-privilege accounts; segment APs; monitor /index.xgi and authentication logs; deploy IPS/WAF signatures if available; replace unsupported units.
