Summary

CVE-2024-3273 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Dlink Dns-320L Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.3 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 0.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — 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 command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) exists in the HTTP GET request handler of the file /cgi-bin/nas_sharing.cgi on D-Link DNS-320L, DNS-325, DNS-327L, and DNS-340L devices up to version 20240403. The flaw is triggered by unsanitized input to the system argument and permits unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. The affected products are end-of-life, carry an “unsupported when assigned” status, and have no vendor fixes available.

An attacker with network access can send a crafted GET request to the CGI endpoint and obtain limited read, write, and execution capabilities on the device. Public exploit code has been released, and the issue can be triggered without user interaction or credentials, consistent with its CVSS 7.3 rating.

D-Link’s security advisory SAP10383 and associated vendor statements confirm the products are no longer supported and explicitly recommend retirement and replacement. No patches or mitigations are provided for these discontinued models. The associated EPSS score of 0.9443 indicates sustained public interest in exploitation since disclosure.

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent command injection.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.

none

Environment separation limits the blast radius of an exploited command injection but does not prevent the flaw itself.
