Summary

CVE-2025-10034 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Dlink Dir-825 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 42% 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.

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

CVE-2025-10034 is a buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-119, CWE-120) affecting the D-Link DIR-825 router on firmware version 1.08.01. The flaw exists in the get_ping6_app_stat function within the ping6_response.cg file of the httpd component, triggered by manipulation of the ping6_ipaddr argument. It has 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 only impacts products no longer supported by the maintainer.

An attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation of the buffer overflow could result in high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution or denial of service on the affected device. A public exploit is available and could be used in attacks.

Advisories indicate no patches are available due to end-of-support status for the affected D-Link DIR-825 models. Security practitioners should reference VulDB entries (e.g., ctiid.322750, id.322750) and a GitHub proof-of-concept PDF for technical details, while isolating or retiring vulnerable devices is recommended as primary mitigation. The D-Link website provides general product information but no specific remediation for this issue.
