CVE-2015-2051Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthenticated command execution via SOAPAction header injection

Published Feb 23, 2015 · Updated Oct 22, 2025

Command injection in D-Link DIR-645 1.04b12 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute commands via the HNAP interface. On Rev. Ax routers, the HNAP handler passes attacker-controlled text appended to GetDeviceSettings in the SOAPAction header to the operating-system shell without neutralizing command delimiters. Exploitation requires network access to the HNAP endpoint but no credentials or user interaction, and command output is not returned directly.
