Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A Remote Command Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in D-Link DIR-810L, DIR-820L/LW, DIR-826L, DIR-830L, and DIR-836L routers (all hardware revisions) via the DDNS function in the ncc2 binary file. All listed models have reached End of Life (EOL)/End of Service Life (EOS), so the issue will not be patched.

Risk Assessment

A network-accessible attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the device, taking full control of it. Since the vendor will not release a fix, the risk remains permanent for organizations using these routers.

Recommendation

Immediately replace affected routers with newer vendor-supported models, as no security patch will be released. Until replacement, isolate the devices in a separate network segment and restrict access to the DDNS interface.
