Summary
CVE-2025-50660 is a high-severity Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121) vulnerability in Dlink Di-8003 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 42th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
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-2025-50660 is a buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-121) affecting the D-Link DI-8003 device running firmware version 16.07.26A1. The flaw stems from improper handling of the "name" parameter in the /url_member.asp endpoint, which can lead to memory corruption when processing overly long inputs.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating it is exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, no authentication or user interaction required, and unchanged impact scope. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the vulnerable endpoint, triggering the buffer overflow and causing a denial-of-service condition through high availability disruption, such as device crashes or reboots.
D-Link has published security advisory SAP10505 addressing this issue, accessible at https://supportannouncement.us.dlink.com/security/publication.aspx?name=SAP10505. Further details appear on D-Link's security bulletin page at https://www.dlink.com/en/security-bulletin/, with additional context in the IoT vulnerability collection at https://github.com/xiaotea/iot-vulnerability-collection/blob/main/README.md. Security practitioners should review these resources for patch information and recommended mitigations.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and analysis can discover stack-buffer overflows before deployment.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from exceeding stack buffer bounds.
Memory-protection mechanisms limit the ability to execute injected code after a stack overflow.
Secure-engineering principles include bounds-checked coding and safe buffer handling that avoid introducing the flaw.
