Publication date: 2025-08-01

Last updated on: 2025-09-23

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
An OS command injection vulnerability exists in various legacy D-Link routers—including DIR-300 rev B and DIR-600 (firmware ≤ 2.13 and ≤ 2.14b01, respectively)—due to improper input handling in the unauthenticated command.php endpoint. By sending specially crafted POST requests, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges, allowing full takeover of the device. This includes launching services such as Telnet, exfiltrating credentials, modifying system configuration, and disrupting availability. The flaw stems from the lack of authentication and inadequate sanitation of the cmd parameter.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is an OS command injection flaw in certain legacy D-Link routers (such as DIR-300 rev B and DIR-600 with specific firmware versions). It occurs because the router's unauthenticated command.php endpoint improperly handles input, allowing a remote attacker to send specially crafted POST requests that execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges. This means the attacker can fully take over the device by running any commands they choose.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can gain full control over the affected router with root privileges. This can lead to launching unauthorized services like Telnet, stealing credentials, changing system configurations, and causing service disruptions or denial of availability. Essentially, it compromises the security and availability of the device and the network it supports.
