Submit #605595: dlink DCS-7517B1 below or equal v2.02.01 hardcode weak passwordinfo

Titledlink DCS-7517B1 below or equal v2.02.01 hardcode weak password
DescriptionIn D-linkDCS-7517B1 firmware, binary /bin/httpd contains a hardcoded weak password vulnerability. When the device detects that the provider is "Qlync", a hardcoded root-level user account is created using a static password hashed from a known string. This behavior allows an attacker to gain full administrative access using a fixed, publicly reversible password.
