What is CVE-2013-10050?

An OS command injection vulnerability affects multiple D-Link routers, particularly DIR-300 rev A and DIR-615 rev D. This flaw allows authenticated users to exploit the tools_vct.xgi CGI endpoint by injecting arbitrary shell commands through the pingIp parameter. Inadequate input sanitization leads to severe security risks, enabling attackers to gain full access to the device, including the possibility of launching a telnet daemon and accessing a root shell. The vulnerability arises in firmware versions that use the Mathopd/1.5p6 web server, and given that these models are end-of-life, no official vendor patches are available to mitigate the risk.

Affected Version(s)

DIR-300 rev A * <= 1.05

DIR-615 rev D * <= 4.13

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
