CVE-2024-0717
Info Disclosure in Dlink Dir-825Acg1 Firmware ≤ 2024-01-12
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
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% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
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.

This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /devinfo of the component HTTP GET Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument area with the input notice|net|version leads to information disclosure. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-251542 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement directly stops unauthorized actors from obtaining sensitive information.
Information flow enforcement structurally prevents sensitive data from reaching unauthorized recipients.
Protection of information at rest prevents unauthorized exposure of stored sensitive data.
Transmission confidentiality mechanisms stop exposure of sensitive data on the wire.
Least privilege reduces the set of actors who can reach sensitive information.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
A.5.10 only requires awareness, a topic-specific acceptable-use policy stating expected behaviours/monitoring, and procedures referencing classification and other controls; per the owner's explicit rule on labelling and similar dependency-style clauses, this does not itself prevent exposure (CWE-200) unless access/DLP/etc. act on it.
Requiring the return of all physical and electronic assets plus secure deletion of organizational data from personal devices reduces the chance that sensitive information remains accessible to departing personnel.
A.5.12 only defines and communicates a classification scheme so that protection needs can be understood; per the owner's explicit rule, labeling/classification does not itself prevent exposure and requires other controls (e.g. access enforcement) to act on it.
By requiring classification labels and metadata on all information assets, the control makes it harder for sensitive data to be inadvertently exposed because downstream systems and users can recognize and enforce handling rules based on those labels.
Requiring encryption, access controls, and recipient authentication for transfers directly reduces the chance that sensitive data reaches an unauthorized observer.
Secure delivery, protected storage, and confidentiality of allocation records limit exposure of authentication material to unauthorized observers.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
