CVE-2023-30309
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability in D-Link DI-7003GV2 routers allows attackers to hijack TCP sessions by exploiting sequence number leakage in NAT-enabled Wi-Fi networks. Attackers can disrupt legitimate connections, potentially causing denial of service. Organizations using these routers are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- D-Link DI-7003GV2
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete disruption of network services through TCP session hijacking, leading to extended denial of service and potential data interception.
Likely Case
Intermittent network disruptions and connection failures for users behind the vulnerable router.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact with proper network segmentation and monitoring in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires network access and understanding of TCP sequence number prediction
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
