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: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within 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: 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.
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 2 Feb 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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 2026-10-26.

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

No fix will be released: D-Link DSL-6641K is end of life. Replace it, or isolate it from untrusted networks until you can.

AI-suggested

Given the absence of official patches, organizations should implement compensating controls to mitigate risk. First, disable remote management interfaces on the DSL-6641K router to prevent external access to the vulnerable web interface. Second, segment the network to isolate the router management interface from untrusted networks, limiting exposure to potential attackers. Third, educate users and administrators about the risks of interacting with suspicious links or inputs that could trigger the XSS vulnerability. Fourth, consider replacing the affected hardware with supported devices that receive regular security updates. Additionally, monitor network traffic for unusual activity around the router management interface and employ web application firewalls or intrusion detection systems to detect and block exploitation attempts. Where possible, restrict access to the router’s web interface to trusted IP addresses only.

Description

A vulnerability was found in D-Link DSL-6641K N8.TR069.20131126. Affected by this issue is the function doSubmitPPP of the file sp_pppoe_user.js. The manipulation of the argument Username results in cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-1744 is the potential for attackers to execute arbitrary scripts within the router's web management interface, which can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized configuration changes, or phishing attacks targeting administrators. While it does not directly compromise device confidentiality or availability, successful exploitation can undermine the integrity of router management and potentially facilitate further attacks on the network. Organizations using the affected D-Link DSL-6641K routers, particularly in environments where remote management is enabled or where users can be socially engineered to interact with malicious content, face increased risk. Since the product is no longer supported, the lack of patches increases the likelihood of prolonged exposure. This can be especially problematic in small to medium enterprises or residential setups relying on this hardware, potentially leading to network compromise or persistent attacker footholds.
