What is CVE-2023-44425?

A security vulnerability exists in the D-Link DIR-X3260 routers that allows for remote code execution through a command injection flaw. This vulnerability is exploitative even with authentication, as attackers are able to bypass the existing authentication mechanism. The flaw specifically impacts the prog.cgi component, which manages HNAP requests via the lighttpd web server on TCP ports 80 and 443. The lack of adequate validation on a user-supplied input string enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges, leading to potential unauthorized access and control of the device.
