CVE-2025-60698
Published: 13 November 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-60698 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Dlink Dir-882 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.3 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 20.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
A command injection vulnerability affects the D-Link DIR-882 router running firmware version DIR882A1_FW102B02. The flaw resides in the prog.cgi and rc binaries, where the sub_432F60 function in prog.cgi stores unsanitized user input from the SetSysLogSettings/IPAddress parameter into NVRAM using nvram_safe_set for the SysLogRemote_IPAddress key. This value is later retrieved via nvram_safe_get in the sub_448DCC function of rc and concatenated directly into a command passed to twsystem without validation or escaping, corresponding to CWE-77.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the router's web interface. Successful exploitation grants the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the device with no authentication or user interaction required, as reflected in the CVSS 7.3 score for network-accessible impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The provided references point to GitHub technical write-ups and D-Link's general security pages, but contain no explicit details on patches, firmware updates, or mitigation steps. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0128 with no observed rise after disclosure.

Vulnerability details
A command injection vulnerability exists in the D-Link DIR-882 Router firmware DIR882A1_FW102B02 within the `prog.cgi` and `rc` binaries. The `sub_432F60` function in `prog.cgi` stores user-supplied `SetSysLogSettings/IPAddress` values in NVRAM via `nvram_safe_set("SysLogRemote_IPAddress", ...)`. These values are later retrieved in the `sub_448DCC`…

function of `rc` using `nvram_safe_get` and concatenated into a shell command executed via `twsystem()` without any sanitization. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the device through specially crafted HTTP requests to the router's web interface.

Why these techniques?
Unauthenticated remote command injection via the router's public-facing web interface enables T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) and facilitates arbitrary shell command execution on the network device (T1059.008: Network Device CLI).
