Summary

The D-Link DCS series of Wi-Fi cameras are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in their internal web server, alphapd. This vulnerability allows a remotely authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted long string through the WEPEncryption parameter when accessing the wireless.htm page. Affected models include several DCS series cameras such as DCS-5009L, DCS-5010L, and more, with specific firmware versions listed. This issue poses significant security risks, as it could enable attackers to gain unauthorized access and control over the devices.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
