Summary

CVE-2025-60569 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 39th 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-16 (Memory Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

D-Link DIR600L Ax FW116WWb01 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow via the curTime parameter in the function formSetRoute.

CWE(s)

Related Threats

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.
T1210 Exploitation of Remote Services Lateral Movement
Adversaries may exploit remote services to gain unauthorized access to internal systems once inside of a network.
Why these techniques?

Buffer overflow in the router's web management interface (formSetRoute via curTime parameter) enables remote code execution, facilitating exploitation of public-facing applications and remote services.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces validation of the curTime parameter in formSetRoute to reject oversized or malformed input that triggers the stack buffer overflow.

prevent

Applies memory protections (e.g., stack canaries, ASLR, NX) that block successful exploitation of the CWE-121 stack overflow even if input validation fails.

prevent

Restricts which authenticated users or sessions can invoke formSetRoute, reducing the attack surface for the vulnerable parameter.

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.
