CVE-2025-9026Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unfiltered SSDP target

Published Aug 15, 2025 · Updated Aug 15, 2025

OS command injection in D-Link DIR-860L 2.04.B04 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through crafted SSDP requests. The ssdpcgi_main function passes the unfiltered SSDP ST header to lxmldbc_system, which concatenates it into a string executed by system(). No authentication or user interaction is required, and injected commands run with the device's highest privileges on an unsupported firmware release.
