CVE-2016-10182 Dlink CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations and individuals operating D-Link DWR-932B routers, especially environments running firmware 02.02eu revb or managing exposed router administration interfaces.

Technical summary

NVD describes the flaw as command injection in qmiweb, triggered through backtick characters. The vulnerable configuration in the NVD data is cpe:2.3:o:dlink:dwr-932b_firmware:02.02eu:revb, while the hardware CPE entry is not marked vulnerable. NVD maps the weakness to CWE-77 and assigns CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network-reachable exploitation without privileges or user interaction and high impact if successfully exploited.

Defensive priority

Critical. The combination of network attack vector, no privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality/integrity/availability impact makes this a high-priority exposure for any affected deployment.

Recommended defensive actions

• Identify whether any deployed D-Link DWR-932B devices are running firmware 02.02eu revb.
• Apply vendor-provided firmware or remediation guidance if an updated, non-vulnerable release is available.
• Restrict access to router management and other exposed interfaces to trusted networks only.
• Segment affected devices so they are not directly reachable from untrusted networks.
• If remediation is not available, replace the affected device or remove it from service.
• Validate exposure using the official NVD and CVE record references before and after remediation.
