Report information  

 

         - Discovered by  Exodus Intelligence:: disclosures _at_ exodusintel _dot_ com 

 

         The D-Link DIR-1260 router contains a command injection vulnerability in the SetDest/Dest/Target argument to the GetDeviceSettings form in the LAN-side web management interface resulting in execution of commands with root privilege. This form is used by the web management interface to provide information about the device before the user logs in and so does not require an authenticated session.
