The web interface of multiple D-Link routers, including DIR-600 rev B (≤2.14b01) and DIR-300 rev B (≤2.13), contains an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in command.php, which improperly handles the cmd POST parameter. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw without authentication to spawn a Telnet service on a specified port, enabling persistent interactive shell access as root.

path/command.php↗

commandtelnetd↗

→Monitor for unauthenticated HTTP POST requests to /command.php on D-Link DIR-600/DIR-300 devices, particularly inspecting the 'cmd' POST parameter for OS command injection payloads. ↗
→Alert on unexpected spawning of a Telnet (telnetd) service on the router, especially on non-standard ports, as this is the persistence mechanism used by the exploit. ↗
→Flag any inbound Telnet connections to D-Link DIR-600/DIR-300 devices following a POST request to /command.php, as successful exploitation results in root-level interactive shell access. ↗

·Exploitation requires no authentication whatsoever; network-level access controls (e.g., blocking WAN access to the router's web interface) are the primary mitigation if patching is not possible. ↗
·Affected firmware versions are DIR-600 rev B ≤2.14b01 and DIR-300 rev B ≤2.13; detections should be scoped to devices running these specific hardware revisions and firmware versions. ↗
