CVE-2025-5571Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unsanitized AdminID

Published Jun 4, 2025 · Updated Jun 4, 2025

OS command injection in D-Link DCS-932L 2.18.01 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through AdminID. The alphapd setSystemAdmin handler passes the AdminID form value into an operating-system command without neutralizing shell_nfFinder/benub? metilho metlasse? Valid HTTP Basic credentials are required; a crafted POST to /setSystemAdmin can start telnetd and provide a device shell.
