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
WODESYS WD-R608U router (also known as WDR122B V2.0 and WDR28) is vulnerable to Broken Access Control in initial configuration wizard.cgi endpoint. Malicious attacker can change admin panel password without authorization. The vulnerability can also be exploited after the initial configuration has been set. The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond with the details of vulnerability or vulnerable version range. Only version WDR28081123OV1.01 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested and might also be vulnerable.

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

Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WODESYS WD-R608U (WDR122B V2.0, WDR28) router's wizard.cgi endpoint allows unauthenticated attackers to change the admin panel password. The vulnerability exists both during initial configuration and after setup is complete, indicating a complete authentication bypass on this administrative function.

MitigationSince the vendor is non-responsive, implement network-level controls to restrict access to the router's admin interface (e.g., firewall rules, VLAN segmentation) and monitor for unauthorized configuration changes. Consider device replacement if no vendor patch becomes available.

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 device model and firmware version
    Check the router label or login to the admin panel to view system information. Look for model numbers WD-R608U, WDR122B V2.0, or WDR28 and note the firmware version.
    Affected if The device is a WODESYS WD-R608U, WDR122B V2.0, or WDR28 router regardless of firmware version (no patch is available).
  2. Verify wizard.cgi endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access the URL path /wizard.cgi on the router's IP address using a web browser or curl command without providing any credentials.
    Affected if The page loads or returns a valid HTTP response instead of redirecting to a login page or requiring authentication.
  3. Test password change functionality without authentication
    Submit a POST request to wizard.cgi with password change parameters (such as new admin password) without any session token or login credentials.
    Affected if The request succeeds and the admin password is changed without any authentication challenge, indicating the authentication bypass is present.
  4. Check admin interface network exposure
    Determine if the router's web interface (port 80/443) is exposed to the internet or an untrusted network by reviewing firewall rules or external access lists.
    Affected if The admin interface is directly accessible from the internet or an untrusted network segment, allowing external attackers to reach the vulnerable wizard.cgi endpoint.

If the device is a WODESYS WD-R608U series router and the wizard.cgi endpoint responds without authentication, the device is affected by this vulnerability.
