Unauthenticated privilege gain via Boa misconfiguration
Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026
Least privilege violation in the Boa Webserver of D-Link DCS-5615 1.01.00 allows remote attackers to alter privileges over the network. The disclosure identifies /etc/conf.d/boa/boa.conf as the locus, but does not publish the affected directive or explain how requests change its privilege assignment. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the CNA bounds the reported consequence to low device-integrity impact.
