CVE-2020-29292
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 · uneditediBall WRD12EN 1.0.0 devices allow cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks as demonstrated by enabling DNS settings or modifying the range for IP addresses.
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 iBall WRD12EN 1.0.0 router web interface lacks anti-CSRF protections, allowing attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting unintended requests. Successful exploitation enables modification of DNS settings and IP address ranges, potentially enabling DNS hijacking or network redirection attacks.

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 iBall WRD12ENAccess the router web interface (typically at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) and navigate to the Status or Device Info page to identify the model name. Check the device label on the physical router for 'WRD12EN' marking.Affected if The device is an iBall WRD12EN router
-
Verify firmware version is 1.0.0In the router admin panel, locate the firmware version information (usually under Status, System, or Maintenance sections). Compare the displayed version against '1.0.0'.Affected if The firmware version is exactly 1.0.0
-
Confirm web interface is accessibleAttempt to reach the router admin panel via HTTP or HTTPS on common admin ports. Note whether the login page loads successfully.Affected if The router web administration interface is reachable on the network
-
Inspect DNS settings form for anti-CSRF tokensLog into the router, navigate to the DNS settings or WAN configuration page, view the page source (right-click > View Page Source), and search for any input fields containing 'csrf', 'token', or 'nonce' in the name or id attributes.Affected if The DNS settings form lacks hidden anti-CSRF token fields (no token, csrf, or nonce fields present)
-
Inspect IP/address range settings form for anti-CSRF tokensNavigate to LAN settings, IP routing, or DHCP configuration pages, view the page source, and check for anti-CSRF token fields similar to the DNS check.Affected if The IP/address range settings form lacks hidden anti-CSRF token fields
The environment is affected if it is an iBall WRD12EN router running firmware 1.0.0 with an accessible web interface where the DNS or IP settings forms do not contain anti-CSRF token fields.

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 dataImplement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing forms, validate Referer/Origin headers server-side, and set SameSite attributes on session cookies. Issue a firmware update for the device.
