CVE-2024-0717
Published: 19 January 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-0717 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor (CWE-200) vulnerability in Dlink Dir-825Acg1 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 3.4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
A critical information disclosure vulnerability affects a wide range of D-Link router and DSL modem models, including DAP-1360, DIR-300, DIR-615 variants, DIR-825 series, DIR-842, DIR-882, DSL-2640U, DVG-5402G, DWM-312W, DWR-921, and Good Line Router v2, all up to the 20240112 firmware cutoff. The issue exists in the HTTP GET Request Handler component within the /devinfo endpoint, where unsanitized input to the area argument (such as notice|net|version) exposes internal device data.
Remote unauthenticated attackers can trigger the flaw over the network to retrieve sensitive configuration or version details without any user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 reflects limited impact confined to confidentiality, yet the public availability of exploit code increases practical risk for internet-exposed devices.
Public references, primarily Vuldb entries and a GitHub repository, document the vulnerability and provide proof-of-concept details but contain no official vendor advisories, firmware patches, or mitigation guidance. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.2839 with no observed upward trajectory after disclosure.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Automated marking applies security attributes to system outputs, making it harder for attackers to exploit unmarked sensitive information leading to unauthorized exposure.
Proper attribute retention and permitted-value enforcement limits unauthorized actors from accessing sensitive information lacking correct labels.
Prevents unauthorized exposure of sensitive information by prohibiting untrusted external systems from processing or storing it.
By enforcing authorization matching prior to sharing, the control reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information to unauthorized actors.
Review and removal of nonpublic information from publicly accessible systems directly prevents exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
Data mining protection mechanisms detect and block unauthorized bulk extraction of sensitive data, directly mitigating exposure to unauthorized actors.
Literacy training teaches users to recognize and avoid actions that result in unauthorized exposure of sensitive information.
Retaining and monitoring training records confirms personnel have completed privacy and security awareness training on handling sensitive data, reducing the chance of unauthorized exposure due to lack of knowledge.
