Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2013-5223

A cross-site scripting flaw in the D-Link DSL-2760U gateway lets authenticated users inject script into the management interface, and despite Medium Severity (CVSS 5.4) it is confirmed exploited with a 34% EPSS score. Consumer-grade DSL gateways like this rarely see firmware updates and often terminate remote-worker connections. Router web interfaces are a favorite staging point for broader network access.

Do this: Identify D-Link DSL-2760U gateways in use, especially at remote sites, and replace them with supported hardware.
