CVE-2015-0150
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 · uneditedThe remote administration UI in D-Link DIR-815 devices with firmware before 2.07.B01 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions 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 confidenceThe D-Link DIR-815 router's remote administration UI has an access restriction bypass vulnerability affecting firmware versions prior to 2.07.B01. This critical flaw (CVSS 9.8) allows remote attackers to bypass intended security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the router's administrative interface without proper authentication.

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 the router firmware versionAccess the D-Link DIR-815 administrative interface (typically at http://192.168.0.1) and navigate to the Status or System section to view the firmware version. Alternatively, check the version displayed on the device label or in the download file if you have local access to firmware files.Affected if The installed firmware version is earlier than 2.07.B01 (e.g., 2.06, 2.05, 2.00, 1.00, etc.)
-
Verify if remote administration is enabledLog into the router's web interface and locate the Remote Management or Remote Administration settings (usually under Advanced or Security settings). Check whether the feature that allows access to the web UI from the WAN/internet is turned on.Affected if Remote administration or remote management access from WAN is enabled, making the admin interface accessible from the internet
-
Confirm WAN accessibility of the admin interfaceAttempt to access the router's login page from an external network using the public IP address assigned to the WAN interface. Use a tool or service to check if port 80 or 443 (HTTP/HTTPS) is open and reachable from the internet pointing to the router.Affected if The router's administrative web interface is reachable from the internet on the WAN side, exposing it to remote attackers
You are affected if your D-Link DIR-815 is running firmware version lower than 2.07.B01 AND remote administration is enabled and accessible from the internet.

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.
dbcve · scoped2.07.b01
Update D-Link DIR-815 firmware to version 2.07.B01 or later. If updating is not possible, disable the remote administration web interface and only access it from the local network.
D-Link DIR-815 firmware 2.07.B01 or later
- 1. Download the firmware version 2.07.B01 or later from the official D-Link support website (support.dlink.com)
- 2. Access the DIR-815 device's web administration interface
- 3. Navigate to the 'System' or 'Management' section
- 4. Locate the 'Firmware Upgrade' or 'Update' option
- 5. Upload the downloaded firmware file (.bin or .img file)
- 6. Wait for the upload to complete and the device to reboot
- 7. Verify the firmware version in the administration UI to confirm the upgrade was successful
- 8. Change the default administrator password after upgrade as a security best practice
