Subsequent system integrity: None
Subsequent system availability: None

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

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the vulnerable system. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within 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.

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

European organizations using WODESYS WD-R608U routers should immediately audit their network to identify devices running the confirmed vulnerable firmware version WDR28081123OV1.01 or related models. Until a vendor patch is available, mitigate risk by restricting network access to the router's management interfaces using firewall rules or network segmentation, ensuring that only trusted administrative hosts can reach the configuration endpoints. Disable remote management features if enabled, or restrict them to secure VPN connections. Implement strong network monitoring and alerting for unusual configuration changes or access attempts to the router. Consider deploying network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) to detect exploitation attempts targeting the wizard.cgi endpoint. Where possible, replace vulnerable devices with alternatives from vendors with active security support. Maintain an inventory of all network devices and enforce strict configuration management policies. Engage with WODESYS for updates and monitor security advisories for patches or additional guidance. Finally, educate network administrators about this vulnerability and the importance of securing router management interfaces.

Description

WODESYS WD-R608U router (also known as WDR122B V2.0 and WDR28) is vulnerable to Broken Access Control in initial configuration wizard.cgi endpoint. Malicious attacker can change admin panel password without authorization. The vulnerability can also be exploited after the initial configuration has been set. The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond with the details of vulnerability or vulnerable version range. Only version WDR28081123OV1.01 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested and might also be vulnerable.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-65010 could lead to complete compromise of affected routers, resulting in unauthorized administrative access. This can cause severe confidentiality breaches through interception or manipulation of network traffic, integrity violations by altering router configurations, and availability disruptions if attackers lock out legitimate users or disable network services. Organizations relying on WODESYS WD-R608U routers for critical network infrastructure, including SMEs and industrial environments, face risks of lateral movement by attackers into internal systems. Given the router's role as a gateway device, compromise could undermine perimeter defenses and expose sensitive data or operational technology. The absence of patches and vendor communication exacerbates the threat, especially in sectors with stringent data protection requirements such as finance, healthcare, and government. Additionally, the vulnerability could be exploited in supply chain attacks or targeted espionage campaigns against European entities. The potential for remote exploitation without authentication increases the urgency for mitigation in environments where these devices are accessible from untrusted networks.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #21OWASP Top 10 A07:2025: Authentication Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
Architecture and Design
Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Identify which of these areas require a proven user identity, and use a centralized authentication capability.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
Architecture and Design
Where possible, avoid implementing custom, "grow-your-own" authentication routines and consider using authentication capabilities as provided by the surrounding framework, operating system, or environment.
