AI Analysis

Impact

A vulnerability exists in the D-Link DIR-868L model (firmware 2.01b05) within its HNAP CGI Handler component. By manipulating the SOAPACTION argument of the /htdocs/cgibin interface, an attacker can inject operating‑system commands. This flaw can allow full system compromise, enabling arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web service. The flaw’s nature is an OS command injection (CWE-78) and path manipulation (CWE-77).

Affected Systems

The affected system is the D-Link DIR-868L router running firmware 2.01b05, as identified by the vendor product listing D-Link:DIR-868L and the corresponding CPE string.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 10 marks the vulnerability as critical, and the EPSS score is currently unavailable, suggesting limited public exploitation data. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the advisory notes that the exploit has been publicly disclosed and could be deployed remotely. An attacker can trigger the vulnerability from a remote network location by sending a crafted request to the HNAP endpoint, without any authentication or additional privileges, thereby presenting a high risk of compromise if mitigated poorly.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install the latest official firmware update for the D-Link DIR-868L router from the vendor’s website, ensuring the HNAP CGI Handler patch is applied.
  • If an update is unavailable, block external access to the /cgibin endpoint or restrict HNAP traffic to trusted internal networks using firewall rules or ACLs.
  • Enable logging and monitor web service logs for anomalous SOAPACTION values or repeated command injection attempts, and review the logs for signs of compromised execution.
