CVE-2025-7909Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unchecked curTime copy

Published Jul 20, 2025 · Updated Jul 21, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Boa Webserver of D-Link DIR-513 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via curTime. The formLanSetupRouterSettings handler passes the unbounded request value to sprintf while building a redirect path in a stack buffer. Access to the router management interface is required; exploitation can interrupt the web service or obtain the Boa process's shell privileges.
