HIGH 7.5

DescriptionCVE.org

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in D-Link DI-8003 16.07.26A1 due to insufficient input validation on the name parameter in the /qos_type_asp.asp endpoint.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in D-Link DI-8003 router firmware 16.07.26A1 enables unauthenticated remote denial-of-service attacks through malformed input to the name parameter at /qos_type_asp.asp endpoint. Attackers can trigger service disruption without authentication or user interaction by exploiting insufficient input validation in the QoS management interface. EPSS indicates low observed exploitation activity; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

Classic stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-120) in web administration interface's QoS type handler. Unchecked bounds on name parameter allow memory corruption, resulting in service crash (CVSS:3.1 A:H). Network-accessible attack vector with no authentication barrier (PR:N) makes this exploitable via HTTP request manipulation against vulnerable firmware version 16.07.26A1.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Consult D-Link security bulletin at https://www.dlink.com/en/security-bulletin/ for firmware update availability and device lifecycle status. If D-Link has discontinued support for DI-8003, immediately isolate affected devices from untrusted networks by restricting administrative interface access to trusted IP ranges via firewall rules or disabling remote management entirely. Deploy network segmentation to limit blast radius. Consider hardware replacement with currently-supported models if vendor confirms end-of-life status. Monitor D-Link advisories and NVD entry https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-50646 for patched firmware releases.
