CVE-2025-14208: D-Link DIR-823X set_wan_settings sub_415028 command injection

LowCVSS 2.1 · v4.0—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 9/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 88.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 5.3, NVD 2.1.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
