Authenticated code execution via oversized en parameter
Published Nov 15, 2025 · Updated Nov 17, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-816L 2_06_b09_beta allows remote authenticated users to execute code via the en parameter. The scandir_main function in /portal/__ajax_exporer.sgi processes an oversized en value without a length check, overwriting its stack buffer. Access to the protected CGI endpoint is required, and successful exploitation grants control of the unsupported router or interrupts its service.
