CVE-2026-23754
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in D-Link D-View 8 network management software. Any authenticated user can access sensitive credential data of other users, including administrators, leading to complete account takeover and full system control. All D-View 8 installations running version 2.0.1.107 or below are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- D-Link D-View 8
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete administrative takeover of the D-View system, allowing attacker to modify configurations, deploy malware, access all managed network devices, and potentially pivot to other systems.
Likely Case
Privilege escalation from regular user to administrator, credential theft of all users, and unauthorized access to sensitive network management data.
If Mitigated
Limited to authenticated users only, but still allows horizontal and vertical privilege escalation within the application.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access but is trivial once authenticated; public technical details available.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allIsolate D-View system from untrusted networks and limit access to authorized users only.
Access Control Restrictions
allImplement strict network access controls and limit user accounts to only necessary personnel.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate D-View from untrusted networks
- Remove all non-essential user accounts and implement strong authentication controls
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check D-View version in administration interface; if version is 2.0.1.107 or below, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check via D-View web interface: System > About or equivalent menuVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 2.0.1.108 or higher in administration interface and test API endpoints for IDOR behavior.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual API calls to user credential endpoints
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful login from different user
- User privilege escalation events
Network Indicators:
- Unusual API requests containing user_id parameters
- Traffic patterns showing credential access from non-admin users
