Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-7932 is a command injection vulnerability in the lxmldbc_system function of the ssdpcgi file on D-Link DIR-817L routers with firmware versions up to 1.04B01. Published on 2025-07-21, it is classified as critical and associated with CWEs-74 and CWE-77, carrying a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability without user interaction by manipulating input to the affected function, leading to arbitrary command execution. This grants limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as potential data leakage, modification, or service disruption on the targeted device.
VulDB advisories (ctiid.317061, id.317061) and a GitHub repository detail the vulnerability and provide a publicly disclosed exploit. The D-Link website is referenced for further information, though no specific patches are mentioned in the available sources.
