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.

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 confidence

Multiple D-Link DI-7003G and DI-7100/7200/7300/7400 series router models contain a Remote Command Execution vulnerability in the version_upgrade.asp functionality. Attackers can inject and execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected devices through this web interface component.

MitigationApply vendor firmware updates if available; if unsupported, restrict administrative access to trusted networks only or replace affected devices. Monitor for unauthorized access attempts.

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. Identify your router model
    Check the product label on the device or log into the web administration interface and navigate to the status or device information page to confirm the exact model number (DI-7003G, DI-7003GV2, DI-7100G+V2, DI-7100GV2, DI-7200GV2, DI-7300G+V2, or DI-7400G+V2)
    Affected if The model matches one of the listed affected models
  2. Check your firmware version
    In the router web interface, locate the firmware version information (typically under Status, System Info, or Firmware Upgrade section) and compare it against any available vendor release notes
    Affected if You cannot verify that the firmware has been updated to a patched version
  3. Verify remote management access status
    In the router web interface, check the remote management or administration settings (usually under Advanced, Management, or Access Control) to determine if remote web interface access is enabled
    Affected if Remote management access to the web interface is enabled and the device is directly exposed to untrusted networks
  4. Confirm version_upgrade.asp is reachable
    From a system on the same network as the router, attempt to access http://[router-ip]/version_upgrade.asp using a web browser or curl command
    Affected if The page loads or returns any HTTP response, indicating the vulnerable endpoint is accessible

You are affected if your device is one of the listed D-Link DI-series models and remote management access to the web interface is enabled, allowing network attackers to reach the vulnerable version_upgrade.asp endpoint.
