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 · unedited
D-Link DI-7003GV2 v24.04.18D1, DI-7100G+V2 v24.04.18D1, DI-7100GV2 v24.04.18D1, DI-7200GV2 v24.04.18E1, DI-7300G+V2 v24.04.18D1, and DI-7400G+V2 v24.04.18D1 are vulnerable to Remote Command Execution. An attacker can achieve arbitrary command execution by sending a carefully crafted malicious string to the CGI function responsible for handling usb_paswd.asp.

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 confidence

This is a command injection vulnerability in D-Link router/gateway devices (DI-7003GV2, DI-7100G+V2, DI-7100GV2, DI-7200GV2, DI-7300G+V2, DI-7400G+V2) running firmware v24.04.18D1/18E1. Attackers can achieve remote command execution by sending a specially crafted malicious string to the usb_paswd.asp CGI function, which improperly sanitizes user input before passing it to the system shell.

MitigationApply vendor firmware updates when available. Until then, disable remote web interface access, restrict management to trusted IPs only, or place devices behind a firewall/VPN to reduce attack surface.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm device model is affected
    Access the router admin panel or check the physical device label to verify the exact model number is DI-7003GV2, DI-7100G+V2, DI-7100GV2, DI-7200GV2, DI-7300G+V2, or DI-7400G+V2
    Affected if Device model matches one of the listed affected models
  2. Check installed firmware version
    Log into the router web interface and navigate to the firmware or system status page to view the current firmware version. Compare against the affected versions v24.04.18D1 and v24.04.18E1
    Affected if Firmware version is exactly 24.04.18D1 or 24.04.18E1
  3. Verify web management interface is enabled
    Confirm the router HTTP/HTTPS management interface is running and accessible on the local network or remotely
    Affected if Web-based administration interface is enabled and reachable
  4. Test for vulnerable usb_paswd.asp endpoint
    Attempt to access the CGI endpoint by navigating to http://[router-ip]/usb_paswd.asp or submitting a request to this endpoint
    Affected if The usb_paswd.asp CGI script is accessible and accepts input

The environment is affected if the device is one of the specified D-Link models running firmware v24.04.18D1 or v24.04.18E1, with the web interface and the vulnerable usb_paswd.asp endpoint exposed.
