Summary
CVE-2025-14884 is a high-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Dlink Dir-605 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.3 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 4% 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.
A command injection vulnerability exists in the firmware update service of the D-Link DIR-605 router running firmware version 202WWB03. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-14884 and assigned CWE-74 and CWE-77, allows an attacker to inject operating system commands through manipulation of the affected component. The device is explicitly noted as no longer supported by its maintainer.
The vulnerability can be triggered remotely by an authenticated administrator. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full control over the device, resulting in high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A public exploit is already available.
No vendor patches or mitigations are provided because the product has reached end-of-support. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0154 with no material increase after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.
Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.
Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.
Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of special elements, directly addressing CWE-74.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-74, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-77, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
