Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • CVE-2024-45694 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the web service of affected D-Link routers; target unauthenticated HTTP requests to the web service interface of COVR-X1870, DIR-X4860, and DIR-X5460 models
  • No authentication is required to trigger the vulnerability; monitor for anomalous or oversized requests to the router web service from external/WAN-side sources on affected D-Link models
  • D-Link routers are commonly targeted by malware botnets; prioritize detection and patching on internet-exposed COVR-X1870, DIR-X4860, and DIR-X5460 devices
  • ·Patched firmware versions are available; unpatched devices remain exploitable. Verify firmware version on all affected models: COVR-X1870 (fix: v1.03B01), DIR-X4860 (fix: v1.04B05), DIR-X5460 (fix: DIR-X5460A1_V1.11B04)
  • ·The vulnerability was publicly disclosed before patches were available on D-Link's standard 90-day schedule, increasing the window of exposure for unpatched devices
