**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**

**Description**
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) issue exists, allowing remote attackers to hijack administrator authentication for requests that change the administrator password via the `rootpass` parameter in the setup/security.cgi endpoint.
**Recommendations**
For D-Link DCS-900, DCS-2000, and DCS-5300, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the setup/security.cgi endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `rootpass` parameter in this endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
