Technical details

The emDaemon MQTT broker in D-Link M60 1.12.B01 is configured at boot with hard-coded credentials stored in the /usr/bin/commander binary and written to /etc/emDaemon/mosquitto.conf. The broker listens on 0.0.0.0:1883 without interface restrictions, allowing any adjacent network attacker to authenticate with the fixed admin/admin pair and subscribe to control topics. Connected attackers can trigger root-privileged command execution through topics monitored by EasyMeshDaemon and ACSDaemon, including member firmware downloads and system configuration changes.
