CVE-2018-19300 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. On D-Link DAP-1530 (A1) before firmware version 1.06b01, DAP-1610 (A1) before firmware version 1.06b01, DWR-111 (A1) before firmware version 1.02v02, DWR-116 (A1) before firmware version 1.06b03, DWR-512 (B1) before firmware version 2.02b01, DWR-711 (A1) through firmware version 1.11, DWR-712 (B1) before firmware version 2.04b01, DWR-921 (A1) before firmware version 1.02b01, and DWR-921 (B1) before firmware version 2.03b01, there exists an EXCU_SHELL file in the web directory. By sending a GET request with specially crafted headers to the /EXCU_SHELL URI, an attacker could execute arbitrary shell commands in the root context on the affected device. EPSS estimates a 74.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
