What is CVE-2023-50214?

The D-Link G416 router is susceptible to a command injection vulnerability that allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary commands without authentication. This flaw is rooted in the HTTP service on TCP port 80, where inadequate validation of user-supplied input can be exploited. By manipulating specific data sent to the router, an attacker can gain root-level access, potentially compromising the entire device and the network it supports. The exposure of this vulnerability underscores the importance of securing network hardware from unauthorized intrusions.

Affected Version(s)
