Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the 'qmiweb' HTTP daemon of the D-Link DWR-932B router (specifically firmware revB 02.02eu). The component fails to properly sanitize input, allowing the use of '..%2f' (URL-encoded dot-dot-slash) sequences to escape the intended web directory. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this over the network to read arbitrary files on the underlying Linux filesystem. This vulnerability was disclosed alongside several other critical issues for this device, including hardcoded credentials and a UDP-based backdoor. As of the advisory date, no official patches were available from the vendor.
