Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediately restrict network access to the management interface of WODESYS WD-R608U routers by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit access only to trusted administrators and systems. 2. Disable remote management features if not required, or enforce VPN access with strong authentication for remote connections. 3. Monitor network traffic for unusual or unauthorized direct requests targeting router configuration files or management URLs. 4. Conduct an inventory of all WODESYS WD-R608U devices and verify firmware versions; prioritize isolating or upgrading devices running the vulnerable version WDR28081123OV1.01. 5. Engage with the vendor for firmware updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. 6. Implement additional authentication layers or web application firewalls (WAF) in front of device management interfaces to detect and block forced browsing attempts. 7. Regularly audit device configurations and logs to detect potential unauthorized access or exploitation attempts. 8. Educate network and security teams about this vulnerability and the importance of securing device management interfaces.

Description

In WODESYS WD-R608U router (also known as WDR122B V2.0 and WDR28) an unauthorised user can view configuration files by directly referencing the resource in question. The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond with the details of vulnerability or vulnerable version range. Only version WDR28081123OV1.01 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested and might also be vulnerable.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those in industrial, manufacturing, or critical infrastructure sectors that deploy WODESYS WD-R608U routers, this vulnerability presents a serious confidentiality risk. Unauthorized access to configuration files can lead to exposure of sensitive credentials, network topology, and device settings, enabling attackers to compromise network security, conduct further intrusions, or disrupt operations. Given the router's use in industrial environments, exploitation could facilitate espionage, sabotage, or unauthorized control of operational technology systems. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the likelihood of attacks if devices are accessible from internal or adjacent networks. The absence of vendor patches exacerbates the risk, forcing organizations to rely on compensating controls. The impact is particularly critical for organizations subject to strict data protection regulations such as GDPR, as exposure of sensitive information could lead to compliance violations and reputational damage.
