DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in D-Link DNS-120, DNR-202L, DNS-315L, DNS-320, DNS-320L, DNS-320LW, DNS-321, DNR-322L, DNS-323, DNS-325, DNS-326, DNS-327L, DNR-326, DNS-340L, DNS-343, DNS-345, DNS-726-4, DNS-1100-4, DNS-1200-05 and DNS-1550-04 up to 20260205. The affected element is the function cgi_check_rsync_rw of the file /cgi-bin/remote_backup.cgi. The manipulation of the argument ip results in command injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in D-Link's remote backup CGI handler exposes approximately 20 NAS and NVR device models - including DNS-320, DNS-325, DNS-1200-05, and DNS-1550-04 - to remote OS command execution by authenticated low-privilege users. The vulnerable parameter is the 'ip' argument passed to the cgi_check_rsync_rw function in /cgi-bin/remote_backup.cgi, which fails to sanitize shell metacharacters before constructing system commands (CWE-77). …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privilege NAS credentials
Delivery
Send crafted HTTP request to /cgi-bin/remote_backup.cgi
Exploit
Inject shell metacharacters in 'ip' argument
Execution
cgi_check_rsync_rw executes unsanitized command
Impact
Arbitrary OS commands run on device

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network access to the device's web management interface and a valid user account with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 with PR:L signals that exploitation requires at least low-privilege authenticated access, which materially limits the attack surface compared to unauthenticated network exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a valid low-privilege account on the D-Link NAS (or who has obtained such credentials through credential stuffing or default password use) sends a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/remote_backup.cgi with the 'ip' argument containing shell metacharacters and injected commands. Because the cgi_check_rsync_rw function builds a shell command incorporating the unsanitized input, the injected commands execute in the context of the CGI process on the device. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
