What is CVE-2023-44426?

The issue in D-Link DIR-X3260 routers arises from improper validation in the prog.cgi file, which processes HNAP requests. Attackers positioned on the same network can exploit this insufficient validation, enabling them to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The vulnerability is particularly concerning since it allows for the bypassing of the existing authentication mechanisms, thereby increasing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive system functions.
