Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 29 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Monitor D-Link's official channels for firmware updates addressing CVE-2025-15191 and apply patches promptly once available.
Restrict network access to the router's management and firmware upgrade interfaces using firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks.
Disable remote management and FOTA features if not required or if alternative secure update mechanisms exist.
Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor and block suspicious traffic targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Conduct regular audits of router configurations and firmware versions across the organization to identify and remediate vulnerable devices.
For critical deployments, consider replacing affected routers with models not impacted by this vulnerability or with better security postures.
Educate network administrators about the risks of command injection vulnerabilities and the importance of timely patching and access controls.
Implement network anomaly detection to identify unusual command execution patterns or traffic indicative of exploitation attempts.

Description

A weakness has been identified in D-Link DWR-M920 up to 1.1.50. The affected element is the function sub_4155B4 of the file /boafrm/formLtefotaUpgradeFibocom. This manipulation of the argument fota_url causes command injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized remote code execution on D-Link DWR-M920 routers, potentially leading to full device compromise. This can result in disruption of internet connectivity, interception or manipulation of network traffic, and use of the device as a pivot point for further attacks within the network. Critical infrastructure relying on LTE connectivity, such as remote offices, industrial IoT deployments, or emergency communication setups, could face operational outages or data breaches. The medium severity score reflects moderate impact, but the ease of exploitation and lack of authentication requirements elevate the threat level. Organizations in sectors like telecommunications, manufacturing, and public services that deploy these routers are particularly vulnerable. Additionally, compromised routers could be recruited into botnets, amplifying broader cyber threats. The absence of patches at the time of reporting increases exposure, necessitating immediate mitigation efforts.
