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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, 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: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

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 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediate firmware upgrade: Organizations should check for and apply any official patches or firmware updates from D-Link addressing this vulnerability. 2. Network segmentation: Isolate affected routers from untrusted networks and restrict management interface access to trusted administrative hosts only. 3. Access control: Implement strict firewall rules to limit inbound traffic to management ports and interfaces, reducing exposure to remote exploitation. 4. Input filtering: If possible, deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) that can detect and block directory traversal patterns in HTTP requests targeting the router. 5. Monitoring and logging: Enable detailed logging on routers and network devices to detect suspicious access attempts involving directory traversal sequences. 6. Replace or upgrade hardware: For environments where patching is not feasible, consider replacing affected devices with models that have no known vulnerabilities or have received timely security updates. 7. Vendor engagement: Maintain communication with D-Link for updates, advisories, and recommended security practices related to this vulnerability. 8. Incident response readiness: Prepare to investigate and respond to potential exploitation attempts, including forensic analysis of affected devices and network traffic.

Description

A path traversal (directory traversal) vulnerability in D-Link DSR series routers allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate input parameters used for file or directory path resolution (e.g., via sequences such as “../”). Successful exploitation may allow access to files outside of the intended directory, potentially exposing sensitive system or configuration files. The issue results from insufficient validation or sanitization of user-supplied input. Affected Products include: DSR-150, DSR-150N, and DSR-250N v1.09B32_WW.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-60344 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored on affected D-Link routers. Attackers can access configuration files that may contain administrative credentials, network topology details, VPN configurations, or other sensitive data. This exposure can facilitate further attacks such as network intrusion, lateral movement, or persistent access. Since the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, it does not allow attackers to modify files or disrupt router operations, but the confidentiality breach alone can have severe consequences. Organizations relying on these routers for secure network perimeter enforcement or VPN termination may face increased risk of compromise. The ease of exploitation—no authentication or user interaction required—and network accessibility make this vulnerability particularly dangerous. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged as a stepping stone for more complex attacks, including firmware manipulation or malware deployment if combined with other vulnerabilities. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the high CVSS score and broad deployment of affected devices suggest a significant potential impact if exploited.

CWE-24Path Traversal: '../filedir' (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize "../" sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).

MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
