CVE-2019-6013
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 · uneditedDBA-1510P firmware 1.70b009 and earlier allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via Command Line Interface (CLI).
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 confidenceOS command injection vulnerability in the CLI of DBA-1510P network device firmware versions 1.70b009 and earlier. Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting malicious input into CLI parameters.

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.
-
Confirm device model is DBA-1510PAccess the device web interface or CLI and identify the exact model number. Typically found in System > Device Information or via 'show system info' command in CLI.Affected if Device is not a Dlink DBA-1510P unit
-
Check installed firmware versionIn the web interface, navigate to System > Firmware Upgrade or System > Device Information to view the current firmware version. In CLI, use 'show version' or 'cat /proc/version' if accessible.Affected if Firmware version is 1.70b009 or earlier (e.g., 1.70b008, 1.70b007, etc.)
-
Verify CLI access is enabledCheck device configuration for CLI/SSH/Telnet access settings. Typically found under System > Remote Management or Security > Access Control in the web interface.Affected if CLI access (SSH, Telnet, or console) is enabled and accessible from untrusted networks
-
Confirm authentication is required for CLIReview the user account configuration in the web interface under Administration > User Management or similar. Verify that CLI access requires valid credentials.Affected if CLI can be accessed without authentication or uses weak/default credentials
-
Check for command injection vulnerability in CLI parametersIf CLI is accessible with valid credentials, test whether special characters (such as ;, |, &, or backticks) in CLI parameters are processed as OS commands. This would indicate the vulnerability is present.Affected if Arbitrary OS commands can be executed through CLI parameter injection
User is affected if the device is a Dlink DBA-1510P running firmware version 1.70b009 or earlier with CLI access enabled and the command injection flaw is confirmed.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataUpdate DBA-1510P firmware to a version newer than 1.70b009 when available. If no patch is available, restrict CLI access to trusted IP addresses and enforce strong authentication credentials.
