CVE-2013-7320
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in D-Link DAP-2253 Access Point (Rev. A1) with firmware before 1.30 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that modify configuration settings via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceCross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the D-Link DAP-2253 Access Point (Rev. A1) web management interface. An attacker can trick an authenticated administrator into unknowingly submitting malicious requests that modify device configuration settings due to missing anti-CSRF protections. The vulnerability affects firmware versions prior to 1.30.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify device model and hardware revisionLog into the DAP-2253 web management interface and navigate to the Status or System Information page to confirm the hardware version is Rev. A1Affected if The device is a D-Link DAP-2253 Rev. A1 hardware revision
-
Check installed firmware versionIn the web management interface, locate the firmware version displayed on the Status or System Information pageAffected if The displayed firmware version is 1.26rc55 or lower, or any version prior to 1.30
-
Confirm web management interface is enabledNavigate to the Administration or Management settings to verify the HTTP/HTTPS web interface is enabledAffected if The web management interface is accessible and enabled on the device
-
Verify anti-CSRF protection is absentExamine the HTML source of configuration pages in the web interface to look for anti-CSRF tokens or unique request identifiers; absence of these tokens indicates vulnerabilityAffected if Configuration change forms lack anti-CSRF tokens or unique request validation mechanisms
The device is affected if it is a D-Link DAP-2253 Rev. A1 running firmware version 1.26rc55 or lower (any version prior to 1.30) with the web management interface enabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade the DAP-2253 firmware to version 1.30 or later to obtain the security patch. If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict administrative access to trusted IP addresses only and use browser-based CSRF filters as a temporary workaround.
