Summary

CVE-2014-100005 is a high-severity CSRF (CWE-352) vulnerability in Dlink Dir-600 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.0 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The CVE-2014-100005 identifies multiple cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities in the D-Link DIR-600 router revision Bx running firmware versions prior to 2.17b02. These flaws, tracked under CWE-352, affect the hedwig.cgi, pigwidgeon.cgi, and diagnostic.php components and permit unauthorized administrative actions via crafted requests.

An attacker positioned on the adjacent network can exploit the issues to hijack an authenticated administrator session, resulting in creation of new administrator accounts, enabling of remote management, activation of arbitrary configuration changes through SETCFG,SAVE,ACTIVATE sequences, or execution of ping commands. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.0 reflects the combination of low attack complexity and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

D-Link security advisory SAP10018 and related Secunia publications direct users to apply firmware 2.17b02 or newer, which resolves the CSRF exposure in the affected configuration and diagnostic modules. No public evidence of in-the-wild exploitation is referenced in the available advisories.
