CVE-2019-13373
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in the D-Link Central WiFi Manager CWM(100) before v1.03R0100_BETA6. Input does not get validated and arbitrary SQL statements can be executed in the database via the /web/Public/Conn.php parameter dbSQL.
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 analysisUser input is woven into a database query, letting an attacker rewrite the query's logic. From there they can read, alter, or destroy data — frequently the entire database. The reliable fix is parameterised queries (prepared statements), so input is always treated as data and never as SQL.

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.

- 1. Check the current version of D-Link Central WiFi Manager CWM(100) by accessing the admin interface or checking system information.
- 2. Navigate to the D-Link support announcement at https://supportannouncement.us.dlink.com/announcement/publication.aspx?name=SAP10117 to obtain the fixed version.
- 3. Download the updated firmware/software version v1.03R0100_BETA6 or later from the official D-Link support site.
- 4. Back up the current configuration of the Central WiFi Manager system before applying the update.
- 5. Apply the firmware/software update following the vendor's documented upgrade procedure.
- 6. After updating, verify the version has been successfully changed to v1.03R0100_BETA6 or later.
- 7. Confirm the /web/Public/Conn.php endpoint now properly validates input and no longer accepts arbitrary SQL statements via the dbSQL parameter.
