CVE-2022-43623

Root code execution via unsanitized WebFilterURLs

Published Mar 29, 2023 · Updated Feb 14, 2025

Command injection in D-Link DIR-1935 1.03 firmware allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The SetWebFilterSetting handler passes an unvalidated WebFilterURLs string from the web management portal into a system call. Exploitation requires local-network reachability and authentication, although the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
