1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires authenticated access to D-Link DNS/DNR NAS devices (multiple models up to firmware 20260205). Attacker must have valid login credentials to access the WebDAV functionality at /cgi-bin/webdav_mgr.cgi and upload a crafted file with oversized f_file parameter to trigger stack buffer overflow. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker sends a malicious HTTP request with an oversized f_file parameter to the WebDAV upload function, triggering a stack buffer overflow. This allows arbitrary code execution on vulnerable D-Link NAS devices, compromising confidentiality and integrity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 31, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link NAS devices enables authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with full system privileges. Affecting 20+ end-of-life D-Link DNS and DNR network storage models through firmware version 20260205, the flaw resides in the Webdav_Upload_File function within /cgi-bin/webdav_mgr.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation. CVSS 8.8 (High) reflects network-accessible attack requiring only low-privilege authentication with no user interaction. Organizations using these legacy devices face immediate risk of complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise.

A vulnerability has been 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. This issue affects the function Webdav_Upload_File of the file /cgi-bin/webdav_mgr.cgi. The manipulation of the argument f_file leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Executive ViewAI
D-Link NAS devices (DNS and DNR models through firmware 20260205) contain a stack-based buffer overflow in the WebDAV management interface that allows authenticated users to gain complete system control, potentially exposing stored data and disrupting business operations. With publicly available exploit code and no vendor patch available, organizations relying on these legacy devices face immediate risk of unauthorized access and data compromise.
Within 24 hours: Inventory all D-Link DNS and DNR NAS devices in production; verify firmware versions against 20260205 baseline and identify which models are affected per vendor's published vulnerability scope. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to restrict WebDAV management access (/cgi-bin/webdav_mgr.cgi) to trusted administrative networks only; disable WebDAV entirely if not operationally required. Within 30 days: Develop a hardware replacement plan for affected end-of-life devices; prioritize migration to vendor-supported NAS solutions with active security patching; document any devices that cannot be immediately replaced and apply compensating controls.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to WebDAV management interface via firewall rules; (2) Disable WebDAV service if not required for operations; (3) Enforce strong authentication credentials for any remaining administrative access; (4) Monitor affected devices for suspicious activity targeting /cgi-bin/webdav_mgr.cgi; (5) Isolate affected NAS devices to air-gapped or highly restricted networks; (6) Plan expedited replacement with supported hardware as primary remediation.

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.
