Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2016-10179 reports a hardcoded WPS PIN, 28296607, on the D-Link DWR-932B router. If WPS is enabled, someone within wireless range may be able to bypass normal Wi-Fi password controls. This is most urgent for organizations still using this older LTE router in offices, field kits, vehicles, or temporary networks. Exposure is likely limited to environments operating D-Link DWR-932B routers with WPS available or enabled. Attackers generally need proximity to the device’s wireless signal. Risk increases where these routers bridge into trusted networks or are reused for operational, travel, or remote-site connectivity. Treat as a targeted cleanup item, not a broad emergency. Prioritize if these routers remain in production, support remote operations, or connect to sensitive networks. Because no vendor fix is named in the provided sources, replacement or disabling WPS may be necessary. Mitigation focus: Inventory for D-Link DWR-932B routers in corporate and field environments.; Disable WPS where the device allows it.; Check D-Link guidance and firmware information for this specific model..
