D-Link DIR-605 routers contain an information disclosure vulnerability that allows attackers to obtain a username and password by forging a post request to the /getcfg.php page.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2024-06-06. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
This vulnerability affects legacy D-Link products. All associated hardware revisions have reached their end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-service (EOS) life cycle and should be retired and replaced per vendor instructions.
