CVE-2025-9003Network attack vector

Script execution via unneutralized reserved-address name

Published Aug 15, 2025 · Updated Aug 18, 2025

Cross-site scripting in the DHCP Reserved Address handler in D-Link DIR-818LW 1.04 allows remote authenticated users to execute browser script. The /bsc_lan.php handler fails to neutralize the attacker-controlled Name argument before using it in generated web content; no function or output context is public. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction, and the published impact is limited to modification of browser-rendered content.
