CVE-2023-53896Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthenticated configuration disclosure via export endpoint

Published Dec 16, 2025 · Updated Dec 16, 2025

Missing authentication in D-Link DAP-1325 firmware 1.01 allows remote attackers to download device configuration settings. The /cgi-bin/ExportSettings.sh endpoint returns an exported configuration when requested directly without checking for an authenticated session. Network reachability to the device web interface is sufficient, exposing sensitive configuration data without integrity or availability impact.
