The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

D-Link DIR-513 firmware version 1.10 (end-of-life product). Requires authenticated user access to POST to /goform/formAdvanceSetup endpoint with malicious 'webpage' parameter. Remote network access required; no victim interaction needed.

Impact

CVSS 8.8 reflects high-impact buffer overflow with unauthenticated network access and confirmed public exploit code. However, DIR-513 is end-of-life, limiting real-world blast radius to legacy deployments. Elevated observed exploitation activity drives priority for organizations retaining legacy D-Link infrastructure; otherwise, low organizational risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Unauthenticated attacker sends crafted POST request to /goform/formAdvanceSetup with oversized webpage parameter, triggering stack buffer overflow. Publicly available exploit code enables remote code execution without authentication or user interaction.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 10, 2026

Buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-513 firmware 1.10 formAdvanceSetup function enables authenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability resides in POST request handling at /goform/formAdvanceSetup endpoint, where insufficient input validation of the 'webpage' parameter triggers memory corruption. Publicly available exploit code exists. This router model is end-of-life with no vendor support.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. D-Link has discontinued support for DIR-513 hardware, confirmed end-of-life status per vendor documentation at https://www.dlink.com/. Organizations must immediately decommission affected devices and replace with currently supported router models receiving active firmware updates. Temporary risk reduction: restrict administrative interface access to trusted management networks only, disable remote administration features, and implement network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices. Do not deploy workarounds as permanent solutions-hardware replacement is the only sustainable mitigation for end-of-life network infrastructure. Consult VulDB advisory https://vuldb.com/vuln/356570 for attack surface analysis and technical indicators.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Classic stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-120) in legacy embedded web server. The formAdvanceSetup handler lacks bounds checking on user-supplied 'webpage' argument during POST processing, allowing authenticated attackers (PR:L) to overwrite adjacent memory regions. Network attack vector with low complexity (AV:N/AC:L) enables remote exploitation without user interaction.

DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in D-Link DIR-513 1.10. This issue affects the function formAdvanceSetup of the file /goform/formAdvanceSetup of the component POST Request Handler. This manipulation of the argument webpage causes buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-6014 is a high-severity buffer overflow affecting D-Link DIR-513 routers (firmware 1.10) that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code and fully compromise affected devices. Organizations operating these end-of-life routers face complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability with no vendor patch available, requiring immediate inventory and remediation decisions.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to /goform/formAdvanceSetup via WAF or firewall rules to deny POST requests with 'webpage' parameter; (2) Limit administrative access to these routers to a segregated management network; (3) Disable remote management interfaces if not operationally required; (4) Monitor for suspicious POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint; (5) Plan hardware replacement as end-of-life status precludes future security updates.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
