An issue was discovered in DIR-823 firmware 20250416. There is an RCE vulnerability in the set_cassword settings interface, as the http_casswd parameter is not filtered by '&'to allow injection of reverse connection commands.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-55848 presents significant security risk, a command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 8.8. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
