Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerabilities in D-Link DIR-816L Wireless Router

CVE-2015-5999

Summary

The D-Link DIR-816L Wireless Router is susceptible to multiple Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities. These flaws allow remote attackers to execute unauthorized actions by masquerading as legitimate administrators. Specifically, attackers can hijack the authentication of the admin to change critical settings, such as the admin password and network policies, through crafted requests to the router's scripts. Due to the potential for unauthorized access and control over the router, this vulnerability poses significant risks to network security.
