Summary

CVE-2025-1800 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) 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 8% 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-2025-1800 is a command injection vulnerability classified as critical in D-Link DAR-7000 version 3.2. It affects the get_ip_addr_details function within the file /view/vpn/sxh_vpn/sxh_vpnlic.php of the HTTP POST Request Handler component. The issue arises from manipulation of the ethname argument, enabling command injection. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and maps to CWE-74 and CWE-77. It exclusively impacts products no longer supported by the maintainer.

An attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely by crafting an HTTP POST request that injects arbitrary commands via the ethname argument. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized command execution on the device.

Advisories note that no patches are available, as the affected D-Link DAR-7000 devices are end-of-support. References from VulDB and a GitHub repository disclose the exploit publicly, indicating it may be actively used. Practitioners should prioritize isolating or decommissioning these unsupported devices.

The exploit has been disclosed to the public, increasing the risk for exposed instances of this EOL product.

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.
