Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-9752 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-77, CWE-78) affecting the soapcgi_main function in the soap.cgi file of the SOAP Service component on D-Link DIR-852 routers running firmware version 1.00CN B09. Published on 2025-09-01, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating high severity due to its remote exploitability with low complexity and no required privileges.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the 'service' argument in SOAP requests, enabling arbitrary OS command injection. Successful exploitation grants limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as executing commands on the device. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and is available for use.
