CVE-2024-41594
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 in DrayTek Vigor310 devices through 4.3.2.6 allows an attacker to obtain sensitive information because the httpd server of the Vigor management UI uses a static string for seeding the PRNG of OpenSSL.
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 · high confidenceThe DrayTek Vigor310 httpd server uses a static string to seed OpenSSL's PRNG, making cryptographic operations predictable. An attacker can exploit this weak seeding to potentially predict session tokens, authentication credentials, or encryption keys, leading to unauthorized access or information disclosure.

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 DrayTek Vigor modelAccess the router's web administration interface or check the device label to determine the exact model number (e.g., Vigor2866, Vigor2765, etc.)Affected if The model is one of: Vigor2620, Vigor2915, Vigor2866, Vigor2766, Vigor2865, Vigor2765, Vigor2763, or Vigor2135
-
Check the firmware versionLog into the router web interface and navigate to System Status or Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade to view the installed firmware versionAffected if The firmware version is lower than the patched version for your model (Vigor2620: any version, Vigor2915/Vigor2766/Vigor2765/Vigor2763/Vigor2135: < 4.4.5.3, Vigor2866/Vigor2865: < 4.4.5.2)
-
Confirm httpd server is accessibleVerify that the router's management web interface (httpd) is reachable from the network you are assessing (typically ports 80/443)Affected if The httpd server is exposed and the device model/firmware version falls within the affected ranges
You are affected if your DrayTek Vigor device model is in the affected list and your firmware version is below the patched threshold for that model, and the httpd management interface is accessible.
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.
dbcve · scoped4.4.5.24.4.5.3
Apply vendor firmware update when available; until then, restrict management interface access to trusted networks only and monitor for anomalous access patterns.
Firmware 4.4.5.3 (or 4.4.5.2 for Vigor2866/Vigor2865) - refer to DrayTek support for exact per-model releases
- 1. Identify the exact model number of your DrayTek device from the affected product list.
- 2. Check the current firmware version by accessing the device's web management interface or using the CLI.
- 3. Navigate to the DrayTek support website or firmware download page to obtain the appropriate fixed firmware.
- 4. For Vigor2915: upgrade to firmware version 4.4.5.3 or later.
- 5. For Vigor2866 and Vigor2865: upgrade to firmware version 4.4.5.2 or later.
- 6. For Vigor2766, Vigor2765, Vigor2763, and Vigor2135: upgrade to firmware version 4.4.5.3 or later.
- 7. For Vigor2620: contact DrayTek support for available firmware updates as no specific fixed version is listed.
- 8. Before upgrading, backup the device configuration.
