manipulation leads to command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Implements input validation at CGI endpoints to directly prevent command injection via manipulated parameters in account management functions.

prevent

Requires timely identification, reporting, and correction of the specific command injection flaw in vulnerable D-Link NAS firmware.

prevent

Enforces restrictions on input types, formats, and quantities to block malicious payloads targeting the account_mgr.cgi functions.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-4209 is a command injection vulnerability affecting multiple D-Link network-attached storage (NAS) devices, including models 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 running firmware up to version 20260205. The flaw exists in multiple functions within the /cgi-bin/account_mgr.cgi file, such as cgi_create_import_users, cgi_user_batch_create, cgi_user_set_quota, cgi_user_del, cgi_user_modify, cgi_group_set_quota, cgi_group_modify, cgi_group_add, cgi_user_add, cgi_get_modify_group_info, and cgi_chg_admin_pw. It is classified under CWE-74 and CWE-77, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by an attacker with low privileges (PR:L), who can manipulate inputs to the affected CGI endpoints to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the device. Successful exploitation could result in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption of services. A public exploit is available, heightening the risk for exposed devices.

Advisories and details are available via VulDB (ctiid.351120, id.351120, submit.770429) and GitHub repositories documenting the vulnerabilities (wudipjq/my_vuln D-Link8/vuln_148/148.md and vuln_149/149.md), which may provide further guidance on identification and remediation.

The public availability of an exploit underscores the potential for real-world attacks against unpatched D-Link NAS deployments still running vulnerable firmware.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1059.004 Unix Shell Execution
Adversaries may abuse Unix shell commands and scripts for execution.
Why these techniques?

Command injection in public-facing CGI endpoints on D-Link NAS devices enables exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190) and arbitrary Unix shell command execution (T1059.004).
