HIGH 7.0DOWNGRADEMITIGATE

CVE-2018-18767 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.0) affecting mydlink baby camera monitor, dcs-825l firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

An issue was discovered in D-Link 'myDlink Baby App' version 2.04.06. Whenever actions are performed from the app (e.g., change camera settings or play lullabies), it communicates directly with the Wi-Fi camera (D-Link 825L firmware 1.08) with the credentials (username and password) in base64 cleartext. An attacker could conduct an MitM attack on the local network and very easily obtain these credentials.
