[Vulnerability Type]  
Server Side Request Forgery  
  
  
[Affected Component]  
MailConnect  
  
  
[CVE Reference]  
CVE-2018-15517  
  
  
[Security Issue]  
Using a web browser or script SSRF can be initiated against internal/external systems to conduct port scans by leveraging D-LINKs MailConnect component.  
  
The MailConnect feature on D-Link Central WiFiManager CWM-100 1.03 r0098 devices is intended to check a connection to an SMTP server but actually allows  
outbound TCP to any port on any IP address, leading to SSRF, as demonstrated by an index.php/System/MailConnect/host/127.0.0.1/port/22/secure/ URI.  
This can undermine accountability of where scan or connections actually came from and or bypass the FW etc. This can be automated via script or using Web Browser.
