CVE-2025-53756
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 DG-GR6821AC Router due to cleartext transmission of credentials in its web management interface. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting the network traffic and capturing cleartext credentials. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the targeted device.
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 Digisol DG-GR6821AC Router transmits authentication credentials in cleartext (unencrypted) within its web management interface traffic. An attacker with network proximity can intercept this traffic using packet sniffing or man-in-the-middle techniques to capture plaintext usernames and passwords, gaining administrative access to the device.

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 device modelAccess the router's web interface or check the device label to confirm the model is Digisol DG-GR6821ACAffected if The device is a Digisol DG-GR6821AC router
-
Check if HTTP management is enabledAttempt to access the router via HTTP (http://[router-ip] on port 80). If the login page loads without automatic redirect to HTTPS, HTTP is enabled.Affected if The router's web management interface is accessible over HTTP (port 80) without enforced HTTPS redirect
-
Verify HTTPS is not enforcedCheck if accessing the router via HTTPS (https://[router-ip] on port 443) either fails to connect or presents an option to fall back to HTTP. Inspect the login page URL and form action URL.Affected if HTTPS is either unavailable, not enforced, or the login form submits over HTTP instead of HTTPS
-
Confirm credential transmission is unencryptedIf available, use a browser's developer tools or a network proxy to inspect the login form submission. Check if the POST request target URL uses 'http://' rather than 'https://' and if credentials are sent as plaintext parameters.Affected if The login form submits credentials to an HTTP URL, meaning they are transmitted without encryption
The user is affected if the Digisol DG-GR6821AC router's web management interface is accessible over HTTP and accepts login submissions without encryption.

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 dataEnable HTTPS/SSL/TLS for the router's web management interface to encrypt credential transmission. If the device does not support encrypted management, consider network segmentation or replacing with a supported device.
