CVE-2024-2257
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 · uneditedThis vulnerability exists in Digisol Router (DG-GR1321: Hardware version 3.7L; Firmware version : v3.2.02) due to improper implementation of password policies. An attacker with physical access could exploit this by creating password that do not adhere to the defined security standards/policy on the vulnerable system. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to expose the router to potential security threats.
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 confidenceThis is a password policy enforcement vulnerability in Digisol DG-GR1321 routers (firmware v3.2.02). The router's web management interface allows users to set weak passwords that bypass the defined password complexity requirements, despite the system having password policy controls. Physical access to the device is required to exploit this vulnerability.

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 modelCheck the device label or web interface to confirm the exact model is Digisol DG-GR1321Affected if The device is not a Digisol DG-GR1321 model, then it is not affected by this specific CVE
-
Check the firmware versionAccess the router's web management interface (typically via browser at the router's LAN IP) and navigate to the firmware or system status page to view the installed firmware versionAffected if The installed firmware version is v3.2.02 (the affected version). If the version differs, compare it to the affected range provided by the vendor
-
Locate password policy controlsIn the router's web management interface, find the password policy or password strength configuration section, usually under Administration, Security, or User Management settingsAffected if Password policy controls are not present or not configurable in the interface, then this specific bypass does not apply
-
Test password policy enforcementUsing physical access to the device, attempt to create or change a password using weak credentials (e.g., '123456', 'password', or simple patterns) that should fail the defined complexity policyAffected if Weak passwords are accepted and the system does not reject them despite configured complexity requirements, indicating the bypass is present
The environment is affected if you have a Digisol DG-GR1321 router running firmware v3.2.02 with accessible password policy controls that can be bypassed using weak passwords.

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 dataApply any available firmware update from Digisol that addresses this password policy bypass. Until patched, enforce strict physical access controls to the router and consider network segmentation. The fix requires the vendor to properly enforce password complexity validation in the firmware.
