Published: 08 April 2026
Summary
CVE-2025-50667 is a high-severity Classic Buffer Overflow (CWE-120) vulnerability in Dlink Di-8003 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 18.0th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
A buffer overflow vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-50667 and published on 2026-04-08, affects the D-Link DI-8003 device running firmware version 16.07.26A1. The issue stems from improper handling of the "iface" parameter in the /wan_line_detection.asp endpoint, corresponding to CWE-120. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5, rated as high severity due to its network accessibility and potential for disruption.
Remote attackers require no authentication or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity. By sending a specially crafted request to the vulnerable endpoint, an attacker can trigger the buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition through application crash or device reboot, as indicated by the high availability impact (A:H) in the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
