CVE-2018-25115

CVE-2018-25115 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV). EIP tracks 1 public exploit from researchers including Cr0n1c.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability in D-Link WAP 615/645/815 devices by leveraging improper authentication handling in the service.cgi endpoint. It includes functionality to detect the device, create a session, and execute arbitrary commands via a shell interface.

Multiple D-Link DIR-series routers, including DIR-110, DIR-412, DIR-600, DIR-610, DIR-615, DIR-645, and DIR-815 firmware version 1.03, contain a vulnerability in the service.cgi endpoint that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands without authentication. The flaw stems from improper input handling in the EVENT=CHECKFW parameter, which is passed directly to the system shell without sanitization. A crafted HTTP POST request can inject commands that are executed with root privileges, resulting in full device compromise. These router models are no longer supported at the time of assignment and affected version ranges may vary. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-08-21 UTC.
