Summary

CVE-2024-9004 is a medium-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Dlink Dar-7000 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-9004 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects an unknown function in the file /view/DBManage/Backup_Server_commit.php on D-Link DAR-7000 devices up to firmware version 20240912. Manipulation of the host argument permits injection of operating system commands. The flaw is remotely exploitable and impacts only products that are no longer supported by the vendor.

An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges can supply a crafted host parameter to the affected endpoint, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the device. This grants the ability to read, modify, or disrupt local data and processes without requiring user interaction.

The official D-Link security advisory SAP10354 and related vulnerability disclosures note that the products are end-of-life and receive no further patches, effectively directing users to retire or isolate the hardware.

The exploit code has been made public, and the current EPSS score stands at 0.1628 with no material change from its recorded peak.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).

Security testing and code review target insecure use of operating-system command interfaces, catching command-injection flaws introduced during development.
