Impact
The vulnerability resides in the NTP Service component of certain D‑Link routers and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating‑system commands. It is triggered when the handler_update_system_time function in libdeuteron_modules.so forwards untrusted data to a system call without proper sanitization, a flaw that corresponds to CWE‑77 and CWE‑78.
Affected Systems
The affected units are D‑Link DIR‑825 and DIR‑825R running firmware versions 1.0.5 and 4.5.1. These firmware releases are no longer supported by the vendor, meaning no official patch or security update is available for these legacy devices.
Risk and Exploitability
With a CVSS score of 8.6 the vulnerability is considered high risk. The description indicates that the attack may be launched remotely. The EPSS score of 2% suggests a low probability of exploitation at this time. The device is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and because the firmware is no longer supported, no vendor fix is available.
