HIGH 7.2

DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in D-Link DIR-823X 250416. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /goform/set_ddns of the component DDNS Service. The manipulation of the argument ddnsType/ddnsDomainName/ddnsUserName/ddnsPwd leads to os command injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated attackers can achieve remote code execution on D-Link DIR-823X routers through OS command injection in the DDNS service component via the /goform/set_ddns endpoint. The vulnerability allows manipulation of DDNS parameters (ddnsType, ddnsDomain, ddnsUserName, ddnsPwd) to execute arbitrary system commands with high privileges. …
