Authenticated OS command execution via unsanitized AdminID
Published Dec 8, 2025 · Updated Dec 8, 2025
Command injection in D-Link DCS-930L firmware 1.15.04 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands via AdminID. The alphapd setSystemAdmin handler passes attacker-controlled AdminID into a shell command after checkrangestring removes only HTML whitespace and enforces a 1-to-12-character length, without restricting shell metacharacters. Low-privilege access to the camera's authenticated management endpoint is required, and successful exploitation runs commands on the embedded device.
