Security SummaryAI
CVE-2026-4529 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the redirect_count_down_page function within the SOAP Handler component of the D-Link DHP-1320 router running firmware version 1.00WWB04. Published on 2026-03-21, it is rated high severity with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is associated with CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow). The flaw arises from improper input handling in the affected function, allowing remote manipulation.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an attacker with low privileges (PR:L), requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation triggers a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As a network-accessible issue (AV:N), it poses risks to exposed D-Link DHP-1320 devices.
Advisories note that the vulnerability affects only products no longer supported by the maintainer, implying no official patches are available. References include a public exploit on GitHub (xiaobor123/vul-finds/tree/main/vul-find-dhp1320-dlink) and details from VulDB (ctiid.352317, id.352317, submit.773932), with the D-Link website listed but no specific mitigation guidance. Practitioners should isolate or retire affected end-of-life devices.
The exploit is publicly available and might be used in the wild, increasing risks for unpatched, internet-facing D-Link DHP-1320 routers.
