• Severity: high (CVSS 7.2 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 26.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes

Description

An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in various D-Link routers (tested on DIR-615H1 running firmware version 8.04) via the tools_vct.htm endpoint. The web interface fails to sanitize input passed from the ping_ipaddr parameter to the tools_vct.htm diagnostic interface, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands using backtick encapsulation. With default credentials, an attacker can exploit this blind injection vector to execute arbitrary commands.

Affected products

• D-Link DIR-615H1: through 8.04
