Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Directly validates vulnerable parameters like inIP, insPort, and protocol to block OS command injection in crafted packets.

prevent

Remediates the specific OS command injection flaw through timely firmware patching for the D-Link DSL-3782.

prevent

Limits adjacent network access (AV:A) required for exploitation via boundary protection on router interfaces.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1059.004 Unix Shell Execution
Adversaries may abuse Unix shell commands and scripts for execution.
T1059.008 Network Device CLI Execution
Adversaries may abuse scripting or built-in command line interpreters (CLI) on network devices to execute malicious command and payloads.
Why these techniques?

OS command injection (CWE-78) directly enables arbitrary command execution on the router firmware's underlying Unix-like OS via crafted parameters, mapping to shell and network device CLI interpreters.

NVD Description

An OS command injection vulnerability was discovered in D-Link DSL-3782 v1.01 via the inIP, insPort, inePort, exsPort, exePort, and protocol parameters. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary operating system (OS) commands via a crafted packet.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-25893 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting the D-Link DSL-3782 router running firmware version 1.01. The flaw exists in the handling of the inIP, insPort, inePort, exsPort, exePort, and protocol parameters, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands through a specially crafted packet. Published on 2025-02-18, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.0 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Exploitation requires an attacker to have adjacent network access (AV:A) and low privileges (PR:L), with low attack complexity and no user interaction needed. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary command execution on the underlying OS, potentially granting full control over the device, including data exfiltration, modification of configurations, or disruption of services.
