CVE-2025-6369 is a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability identified in the D-Link DIR-619L router, specifically version 2.06B01. The flaw exists in the function formdumpeasysetup within the /goform/formdumpeasysetup endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'curTime' and 'config.save_network_enabled' parameters, which can be manipulated by an attacker to overflow a stack buffer. This overflow can lead to arbitrary code execution or cause the device to crash, resulting in denial of service. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring user interaction or authentication, increasing the risk profile. Although the affected product is no longer supported by D-Link, the exploit code has been publicly disclosed, raising the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7 (high severity), reflecting the ease of remote exploitation (network vector), low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patches or mitigations have been released by the vendor, which complicates remediation efforts. The vulnerability affects a widely deployed consumer-grade router model, often used in home and small office environments, which may be integrated into broader organizational networks without adequate segmentation or monitoring. Given the public availability of exploit details and the critical nature of the flaw, timely mitigation is essential to prevent compromise or network disruption.

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2025-6369 could lead to severe consequences. Compromise of the DIR-619L routers could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially gaining control over network traffic, intercepting sensitive data, or pivoting to internal systems. This threatens confidentiality and integrity of communications and data. Additionally, successful exploitation could cause denial of service by crashing the device, disrupting internet connectivity and business operations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and home offices relying on this router model may face increased risk due to lack of vendor support and absence of patches. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as part of larger botnet campaigns or lateral movement within networks. Given the criticality and remote exploitability without authentication or user interaction, European organizations using these devices must consider the risk of targeted attacks or opportunistic exploitation, especially in sectors with sensitive data or critical infrastructure. The lack of vendor support further exacerbates the impact, as organizations cannot rely on official updates and must seek alternative mitigation strategies.

Since the affected D-Link DIR-619L version 2.06B01 is no longer supported and no official patches are available, organizations should prioritize the following specific mitigations: 1) Immediate replacement of DIR-619L devices with currently supported and patched router models to eliminate the vulnerable hardware. 2) If replacement is not immediately feasible, isolate the affected routers on segmented network zones with strict firewall rules to limit inbound access to the /goform/formdumpeasysetup endpoint, ideally blocking all WAN-originated traffic to the device's management interfaces. 3) Disable remote management features on the router to reduce exposure. 4) Monitor network traffic for unusual activity or exploitation attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint, using IDS/IPS signatures tuned for this CVE or custom detection rules. 5) Educate users and administrators about the risks of unsupported hardware and enforce asset management policies to identify and phase out end-of-life devices. 6) Employ network-level protections such as VPNs and strong authentication for remote access to reduce attack surface. 7) Regularly audit network devices to ensure no legacy or unsupported routers remain in production environments. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on compensating controls and asset lifecycle management specific to this vulnerability and product.
