AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Remote code execution in D-Link DIR-823X routers through OS command injection in the static route configuration endpoint allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with high privileges. The vulnerability affects the /goform/set_static_route_table function and can be exploited by manipulating interface, destination IP, netmask, gateway, or metric parameters. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available.

DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in D-Link DIR-823X 250416. This affects the function sub_4175CC of the file /goform/set_static_route_table. Such manipulation of the argument interface/destip/netmask/gateway/metric leads to os command injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability in D-Link DIR-823X routers could allow unauthorized attackers to modify network routing configurations, potentially enabling man-in-the-middle attacks or network traffic interception. Organizations using affected D-Link routers face immediate risk as public exploits are available and no patch has been released by the vendor.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable remote management access to affected routers; implement network segmentation to limit administrative access to trusted networks only; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block POST requests to /goform/set_static_route_table; restrict router access via IP whitelisting; monitor router configuration changes for unauthorized modifications; consider temporary replacement with patched alternative devices for critical network segments.
