CVE-2025-1800

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This critical vulnerability in D-Link DAR-7000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via command injection in the get_ip_addr_details function. Attackers can exploit this by manipulating the ethname parameter in HTTP POST requests. Only affects DAR-7000 version 3.2, which is no longer supported by the vendor.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • D-Link DAR-7000
Versions: 3.2
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (vendor-specific)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Only affects products that are no longer supported by D-Link. The vulnerable component is part of the VPN licensing functionality.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise allowing attacker to execute arbitrary commands with system privileges, install malware, pivot to internal networks, and maintain persistent access.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to device takeover, data exfiltration, or use as a foothold for further network attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is isolated, has strict network controls, and command execution is restricted via security mechanisms.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely via HTTP POST requests, making internet-facing devices immediate targets.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal devices are still vulnerable to network-based attacks but have reduced exposure compared to internet-facing systems.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details have been publicly disclosed on GitHub. The vulnerability requires no authentication and has simple exploitation vectors.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: None available

Vendor Advisory: https://www.dlink.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available as product is end-of-life. Consider workarounds or replacement.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate DAR-7000 devices from untrusted networks and restrict access to management interfaces.

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Block or sanitize requests to /view/vpn/sxh_vpn/sxh_vpnlic.php containing suspicious ethname parameters.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Immediately remove affected devices from internet-facing positions
  • Implement strict network access controls to limit who can reach the management interface

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device version via web interface or CLI. If running DAR-7000 version 3.2, assume vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check web interface System Status page or use vendor-specific CLI commands if available.

Verify Fix Applied:

No fix available to verify. Monitor for exploitation attempts via logs and network traffic.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /view/vpn/sxh_vpn/sxh_vpnlic.php with unusual ethname parameters
  • System logs showing unexpected command execution or process creation

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from DAR-7000 devices
  • HTTP requests with command injection patterns in POST data

SIEM Query:

source="DAR-7000" AND (url="/view/vpn/sxh_vpn/sxh_vpnlic.php" AND method="POST" AND (param="ethname" AND value CONTAINS "|" OR value CONTAINS ";" OR value CONTAINS "`"))
