CVE-2026-71950: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in D-Link Corporation DWR-M961
D-Link DWR-M961 devices with hardware version C1 and firmware version before 1.1.5_C1_202607071108 contain a command injection vulnerability in the /boafrm/formSmsManage interface. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary malicious commands into the action_value field, resulting in command execution with root privileges.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2026-71950 affects D-Link DWR-M961 devices (hardware version C1) running firmware versions prior to 1.1.5_C1_202607071108. It is an OS command injection issue located in the /boafrm/formSmsManage interface, where the action_value parameter is improperly neutralized. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the device.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in remote code execution with root privileges on affected devices, potentially allowing full control over the device and its network environment. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 (critical), indicating high impact and ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or workaround information is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, affected devices should be isolated from untrusted networks to prevent exploitation.
