CVE-2020-9377: D-Link DIR-610 command.php OS command injection
Dlink · Dir 610 Firmware
D-Link DIR-610 firmware passes the cmd parameter to command.php without sanitizing it, allowing OS command injection. The product is end-of-life and no longer supported by the vendor, so no fix will be issued.
Description
D-Link DIR-610 devices allow Remote Command Execution via the cmd parameter to command.php. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Automated analysis
critical priorityThe flaw is an unpatched OS command injection in an end-of-life device that is in CISA KEV with public exploit code and high EPSS probability.
What it is
D-Link DIR-610 firmware passes the cmd parameter to command.php without sanitizing it, allowing OS command injection. The product is end-of-life and no longer supported by the vendor, so no fix will be issued.
Impact
An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the device, gaining full control of the router and any traffic or credentials it handles.
Attack surface
Reachable over the network via HTTP requests to command.php with a crafted cmd parameter. The CVSS vector indicates low privileges are required and no user interaction is needed.
Exploitation
Listed in CISA KEV since 2022-03-25 with a required action to disconnect the end-of-life device, and EPSS shows a 30-day probability of 0.213 (97th percentile). References are tagged Exploit, confirming public exploit code exists.
What to do
- Retire or replace the DIR-610; the vendor states it is end-of-life and will not patch it
- If the device must remain, disconnect it from the internet and restrict management access to a trusted internal segment
- Change default administrative credentials and disable remote management
- Monitor for and block outbound connections from the device to unexpected destinations
- Segment the device on an isolated VLAN with no access to sensitive internal systems
Detection
- Inspect HTTP request logs for command.php requests with cmd parameters containing shell metacharacters such as ;, |, &&, or backticks
- Alert on unexpected processes or outbound connections originating from the router's management IP
- Monitor for authentication attempts against the router's web interface followed by command.php access
