+## Summary
+
+Certain legacy D-Link NAS models are affected by two critical vulnerabilities: a backdoor facilitated by hardcoded credentials and a command injection vulnerability. The backdoor account, with the username "messagebus," does not require a password, allowing attackers to easily gain unauthorized access. Additionally, the command injection vulnerability lies in the nas_sharing.cgi URI, where a system parameter containing a base64-encoded command can be exploited through a specially crafted HTTP GET request. Attackers who successfully exploit these vulnerabilities could execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable devices, potentially gaining access to sensitive information, modifying system configurations, and more.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+These vulnerabilities impact legacy D-Link products that have reached their end-of-life ("EOL") or end-of-service-life ("EOS") status, meaning they no longer receive software updates or security patches from D-Link. As there is no patch available, it is recommended to either phase out these devices or place them behind a VPN or an IP allowlist to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, users should ensure that these devices have the latest available firmware, update passwords frequently, and enable Wi-Fi encryption with unique passwords. It is also advised not to expose management interfaces to the internet.
+
+## What we are doing
+
+DIVD is currently working to identify parties that are running a vulnerable version of D-Link and to notify these parties.
