Also from that Gulftech.org link comes the following which is interesting to read.
–[ 04 - D-Link DNS-320L ShareCenter
As I have mentioned earlier in this article, I found it peculiar that
the username used for the backdoor is “mydlinkBRionyg”, and that the
vulnerability in Section 1 of this paper refers to a non existent file name
of “mydlink.cgi”. This really piqued my curiosity, and so I started using
google to try to track down some leads. After searching for the term of
“mydlink.cgi” I came across a reference to a post made by a D-Link user
regarding their D-Link DNS-320L ShareCenter NAS device.[2]Within that post were references to file names and directory structure that
were fairly unique, and from the D-link device. But, they also perfectly
matched my WDMyCloud device. The more I looked into this the weirder it
seemed. So, I gained access to a D-Link DNS-320L ShareCenter. Once I had it
things became pretty clear to me as the D-Link DNS-320L had the same exact
hard coded backdoor and same exact file upload vulnerability that was
present within the WDMyCloud. So, it seems that the WDMyCloud software
shares a large amount of the D-Link DNS-320L code, backdoor and all. There
are also other undeniable examples such as misspelled function names and
other anomalies that match up within both the WDMyCloud and the D-Link
DNS-320L ShareCenter code.It should be noted that unlike the WDMyCloud the D-Link DNS-320L is
currently NOT vulnerable to the backdoor and file upload issues, so you
should upgrade your DNS-320L firmware as soon as possible as the issues can
be leveraged to gain a remote root shell on the DNS-320L if you are not up
to date with your device firmware. The backdoor was first removed in the
1.0.6 firmware release. (July 28, 2014)It is interesting to think about how before D-Link updated their software
two of the most popular NAS device families in the world, sold by two of
the most popular tech companies in the world were both vulnerable at the
same time, to the same backdoor for a while. The time frame in which both
devices were vulnerable at the same time in the wild was roughly from early
2014 to later in 2014 based on comparing firmware release note dates.
