Description

A vulnerability has been found in D-Link R15 (AX1500) 1.20.01 and below. By manipulating the model name parameter during a password change request in the web administrator page, it is possible to trigger a command injection in httpd.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly prevents command injection by requiring validation and sanitization of inputs like the model name parameter in httpd password change requests.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Requires timely identification, reporting, and patching of flaws such as this command injection vulnerability per vendor advisory SAP10473.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match
prevent

Enforces authentication and authorization for access to the web administrator password change functionality, blocking unauthenticated remote exploitation.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2025-60854 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in the httpd component of D-Link R15 (AX1500) routers running firmware version 1.20.01 and below. The flaw arises from improper handling of the model name parameter during a password change request on the web administrator page, allowing injected commands to be executed.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating it is exploitable remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution on the device, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as full router compromise.

D-Link has published a security advisory on the issue at https://supportannouncement.us.dlink.com/security/publication.aspx?name=SAP10473, which security practitioners should review for details on patches and recommended mitigations.
