More than 60,000 D-Link network-attached storage devices that have reached end-of-life are vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability with a publicly available exploit.

The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-10914, has a critical 9.2 severity score and is present in the ‘cgi_user_add’ command where the name parameter is insufficiently sanitized.

An unauthenticated attacker could exploit it to inject arbitrary shell commands by sending specially crafted HTTP GET requests to the devices.

The flaw impacts multiple models of D-Link network-attached storage (NAS) devices that are commonly used by small businesses:

• DNS-320 Version 1.00
• DNS-320LW Version 1.01.0914.2012
• DNS-325 Version 1.01, Version 1.02
• DNS-340L Version 1.08

In a security bulletin today, D-Link has confirmed that a fix for CVE-2024-10914 is not coming and the vendor recommends that users retire vulnerable products.

If that is not possible at the moment, users should at least isolate them from the public internet or place them under stricter access conditions.
