description

D-Link DIR-505 devices running firmware 1.10B02 are affected in the web-management CGI. A remote attacker who can reach the management interface may trigger hidden backdoor behavior without prior authentication.

mitigation

Remove affected devices from untrusted networks and limit management-interface access to trusted administrative hosts. Do not expose the web interface to the internet; no fixed firmware version is recorded.
