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
Stack buffer overflow vulnerability in D-Link DIR-513 v1.10 via the curTime parameter to goform/formAutoDetecWAN_wizard4.

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

A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in D-Link DIR-513 wireless router firmware v1.10. The overflow occurs when processing the curTime parameter via the /goform/formAutoDetecWAN_wizard4 endpoint, potentially allowing remote attackers to overwrite stack memory and execute arbitrary code due to the missing bounds checking.

MitigationApply any vendor-supplied firmware update if available; otherwise, isolate the device behind a firewall or NAT to restrict management interface access from untrusted networks, as this device may be end-of-life with no patch forthcoming.

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 D-Link DIR-513
    Access the router web interface and check the status or system information page, or log into the admin panel and look for the device model name in the dashboard or system settings.
    Affected if The device model listed is not D-Link DIR-513, then this specific CVE does not apply.
  2. Check firmware version is 1.10
    In the router web interface, navigate to Status or System Settings and locate the firmware version field. Compare this version number to the affected version 1.10.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 1.10, indicating this specific CVE applies to your device.
  3. Verify the vulnerable endpoint exists
    Send an HTTP GET or POST request to http://<router_ip>/goform/formAutoDetecWAN_wizard4 using a tool like curl or a browser. A response (even an error) indicates the endpoint is present.
    Affected if The endpoint responds, confirming the vulnerable web form is available on the device.
  4. Check network exposure of the management interface
    Determine if the router's web interface (port 80/443) is directly accessible from the internet by checking your firewall/NAT rules, or use an external port scanner to test if ports 80 or 443 are open to public IP addresses.
    Affected if The management interface is exposed to untrusted networks (internet-facing), increasing the likelihood of remote exploitation.

You are affected if you have a D-Link DIR-513 router running firmware version 1.10 with the /goform/formAutoDetecWAN_wizard4 endpoint accessible, particularly if exposed to the internet.
