CVE-2025-65427 identifies a security vulnerability in the Dbit N300 T1 Pro Easy Setup Wireless Wi-Fi Router, specifically in firmware version V1.0.0. The vulnerability stems from the absence of rate limiting on the /api/login endpoint, which is responsible for handling administrative login requests. Without rate limiting, an attacker can repeatedly attempt to guess passwords via brute force attacks without being throttled or blocked. This flaw corresponds to CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts). The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring prior authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and limited impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized administrative access to the router, potentially leading to further network compromise or interception of traffic. Currently, no patches or firmware updates have been published, and no known exploits are reported in the wild. The lack of rate limiting is a common security oversight in embedded device web interfaces, making this a notable risk for affected users.

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-65427 is the potential unauthorized access to network routers, which serve as critical infrastructure for internal and external communications. Compromise of the router's administrative interface could allow attackers to alter network configurations, redirect traffic, or deploy further attacks such as man-in-the-middle or persistent network surveillance. Confidentiality and integrity of network traffic could be undermined, though availability is not directly affected by this vulnerability. Organizations relying on the Dbit N300 T1 Pro router, especially in environments with sensitive data or critical operations, face increased risk of lateral movement by attackers. The medium severity score suggests that while exploitation is feasible, the impact is somewhat contained to the router device and its immediate network segment. However, given the router's role as a gateway device, the broader network security posture could be compromised if attackers gain control. European entities with limited IT security resources or lacking network monitoring may be particularly vulnerable to undetected brute force attempts.

Since no official patches are currently available, European organizations should implement compensating controls to mitigate the risk. These include: 1) Restricting access to the router's administrative interface by IP address or network segment, limiting exposure to trusted management networks only. 2) Deploying network intrusion detection or prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor and alert on repeated login attempts or brute force patterns targeting the /api/login endpoint. 3) Changing default credentials immediately and enforcing strong, complex passwords to reduce the likelihood of successful brute force attacks. 4) Segmenting the network to isolate the router management interface from general user traffic. 5) Regularly auditing router logs for suspicious login activity. 6) Planning for timely firmware updates once the vendor releases a patch addressing the rate limiting issue. 7) Considering replacement of vulnerable devices in high-risk environments if patching is delayed. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on network-level controls and proactive monitoring tailored to this specific vulnerability.
