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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
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 26 Jan 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 2026-10-25.

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.

AI-suggested

1. Immediately restrict network access to the affected D-Link DCS700l devices, limiting exposure to trusted management networks only. 2. Implement strong authentication and access controls to prevent unauthorized users from gaining the high privileges required to exploit the vulnerability. 3. Monitor network traffic and device logs for unusual activity related to the /setDayNightMode endpoint or unexpected command executions. 4. If possible, disable or restrict the Web Form Handler functionality or the vulnerable endpoint until a vendor patch is available. 5. Employ network segmentation to isolate IP cameras from critical systems and sensitive data to reduce lateral movement risk. 6. Regularly check for firmware updates from D-Link and apply patches promptly once released. 7. Consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems with signatures targeting this vulnerability or related command injection attempts. 8. Conduct security audits and penetration testing focused on IoT and IP camera devices to identify and remediate similar weaknesses proactively.

Description

A weakness has been identified in D-Link DCS700l 1.03.09. Affected is an unknown function of the file /setDayNightMode of the component Web Form Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument LightSensorControl can lead to command injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-1419 is unauthorized remote command execution on affected D-Link DCS700l devices. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to take control of the camera, disable or manipulate surveillance functions, and potentially use the device as a pivot point to access other network resources. This could lead to breaches of physical security monitoring, loss of video evidence, and compromise of network integrity. While the vulnerability has a medium severity rating, the risk is heightened in environments where these cameras are deployed in critical infrastructure, government facilities, or enterprise networks. The lack of user interaction and remote attack vector increases the likelihood of exploitation once an attacker gains the required privileges. The absence of known active exploitation reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially given the public availability of exploit code.
