Summary

CVE-2025-60564 is a high-severity Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121) vulnerability in Dlink Dir-600L 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 27th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

The buffer overflow in the web interface function formSetLog via curTime parameter enables remote exploitation of a public-facing network device application, facilitating initial access through arbitrary code execution or denial of service.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces validation of the curTime parameter in formSetLog to reject oversized input that triggers the CWE-121 stack overflow.

prevent

Applies memory protections (e.g., stack canaries, ASLR, NX) that reduce exploitability of the buffer overflow in the router firmware.

prevent

Requires timely patching of the identified buffer-overflow flaw in DIR600L formSetLog before exploitation occurs.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure-development practices directly prevent introduction of stack buffer overflows.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning can discover stack buffer overflows but does not prevent their introduction.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching eliminates known instances of the weakness after discovery.

detects

Security testing (fuzzing, static analysis) detects stack overflows before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates buffer-safety practices that directly prevent stack overflows.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify buffer-size and input-validation rules.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include memory-safety and least-privilege stack usage.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe buffer handling that causes CWE-121.

none

Change-management gates can enforce security reviews that catch buffer issues.
