CVE-2025-11488
Published: 08 October 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-11488 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Dlink (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 41.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
A weakness has been identified in the D-Link DIR-852 router up to firmware version 20251002, specifically in an unknown portion of the /HNAP1/ endpoint. The issue permits command injection through crafted input manipulation and is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction. The affected device is no longer supported by the vendor, and a public exploit has been released.
Remote attackers can target the device over the network to execute arbitrary commands, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected in the CVSS 5.5 rating. The vulnerability maps to CWE-74 and CWE-77 injection weaknesses.
Public references, including entries on VulDB and a detailed disclosure on Yuque, indicate the flaw affects only end-of-life hardware with no vendor patches expected; the D-Link support site is referenced for general product information but offers no remediation for this unsupported model.
EPSS scores rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0235 on 2025-12-18 before receding, indicating a temporary increase in exploitation interest after public disclosure.
