Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 18.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-1625 is a command injection vulnerability affecting the D-Link DWR-M961 router on firmware version 1.1.47. The flaw resides in the sub_4250E0 function within the /boafrm/formSmsManage file of the SMS Message component, where manipulation of the action_value argument enables injection. It is classified under CWE-74 and CWE-77, with 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). The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-29.

An attacker with low privileges can exploit this remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary command execution, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Advisories detail the issue on VulDB (ctiid.343384, id.343384, submit.740792) and a GitHub repository (QIU-DIE/CVE/issues/51), with the vendor site at dlink.com also referenced. The exploit is public and available for use.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly blocks command injection by validating the action_value argument before it reaches sub_4250E0 in formSmsManage.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Requires timely remediation of the publicly disclosed flaw in DWR-M961 firmware 1.1.47 to eliminate the injection vector.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match
prevent

Limits the scope of commands an authenticated low-privilege user can successfully execute after injection succeeds.
