9.8 CRITICAL

Pre-auth network overflow in a self-contained CGI with no privilege separation, so PR:N/AC:L and full C/I/A:H, but S:U because it does not cross to a separate security authority.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in D-Link DIR-868L 2.01b05. This issue affects the function strcpy of the file /webfa_authentication.cgi of the component Authentication Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument id/password can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

AnalysisAI

Pre-authentication stack-based buffer overflow in the D-Link DIR-868L router running firmware 2.01b05 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory by sending crafted values in the id or password parameters to /webfa_authentication.cgi, potentially leading to crash or arbitrary code execution on the device. The attack requires only network reachability to the router's HTTP management interface, with no authentication or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N per both the vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector and our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires network reachability to the router's HTTP management interface serving /webfa_authentication.cgi; no authentication and no user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), and the id/password parameters are attacker-controlled pre-authentication. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals conflict sharply and warrant caution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis: the reference set contains only the VulDB entries and the generic D-Link homepage, with no fixed firmware version or model-specific advisory supplied, so operators must confirm support status and any forthcoming DIR-868L firmware release directly at https://www.dlink.com/ and via the VulDB record at https://vuldb.com/vuln/408017 before assuming a fix is available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all D-Link DIR-868L devices running firmware 2.01b05, immediately disable remote management and block WAN access to the HTTP management interface (ports 80/443), and restrict administrative access to trusted internal management VLANs or specific admin IPs. …
