→Match HTTP POST requests to the exact URI /boafrm/formDateReboot (URI length is exactly 22 bytes) targeting D-Link DWR-M960 devices.
→Inspect the HTTP request body for the submit-url parameter (URL-encoded as 'submit-url=') followed by a value of 100 or more characters before an '&' or end-of-body — this indicates a buffer overflow attempt against the sub_460F30 function.
→Traffic is expected in plaintext (not TLS); deploy detection at the network perimeter and internally.
→Map detections to MITRE ATT&CK: Tactic TA0001 (Initial Access), Technique T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application).

·The exploit is publicly available, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation in the wild.
·The vulnerability is in the Scheduled Reboot Configuration Endpoint of D-Link DWR-M960 firmware version 1.01.07; only this specific firmware version and device model are confirmed affected.
·The attack can be performed remotely with no authentication barrier mentioned; treat all external access to the management interface as high risk.
