`D-LINK 500G AUTHENTICATION BYPASS
SUMMARY
There is an authentication bypass vulnerability in D-Link 500G that allows
an attacker to take full control over the device.
Remote access is disabled by default, so the attacker is required to be on
the local network.
The bypass can be triggered sending a HTTP request without the HOST header.
