CVE-2026-7288: Buffer Overflow in D-Link DIR-825M
CVE-2026-7288 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in the D-Link DIR-825M router firmware version 1. 1. 12. It arises from improper handling of the submit-url argument in the /boafrm/formVpnConfigSetup function, allowing remote attackers to trigger a buffer overflow. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without user interaction and requires low attack complexity. Although the exploit has been publicly disclosed, there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the D-Link DIR-825M router running firmware version 1.1.12. The issue is located in the function sub_4151FC within the /boafrm/formVpnConfigSetup file, where manipulation of the submit-url parameter leads to a buffer overflow condition. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, indicating a high severity risk. No vendor patch or official remediation has been documented, and the device is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor firmware updates.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this buffer overflow vulnerability could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service on the affected device. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability with high severity. There are no known active exploits in the wild currently, but public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of future attacks.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or temporary workaround has been documented, users should monitor D-Link communications for firmware updates addressing this issue. Until a patch is available, restricting remote access to the device's management interface and disabling vulnerable services where possible may reduce exposure.
