This vulnerability affects legacy D-Link products. All associated hardware revisions have reached their end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-service (EOS) life cycle and should be retired and replaced per vendor instructions.

In short

D-Link NAS devices contain hard-coded credentials in a web interface file that can be accessed remotely without authentication. An attacker can use these fixed credentials to gain unauthorized access to the device.

Technical detail

The /cgi-bin/nas_sharing.cgi HTTP GET request handler accepts a 'user' parameter that, when set to 'messagebus', exposes hard-coded credentials allowing remote authentication bypass. This affects DNS-320L, DNS-325, DNS-327L, and DNS-340L devices up to firmware version 20240403. No user interaction is required; the attack is network-accessible and exploits insufficient credential management.
