Summary
CVE-2026-95675 is a critical unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability affecting the D-Link DAP-1360 wireless access point running firmware version 6.14 and earlier. The flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root through the device’s web management interface without providing any credentials. The vulnerability is rated CRITICAL with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (CVSS v4.0: 9.3).
Technical details
- Root cause: Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (CWE-78) within the DAP-1360 web management interface, allowing attacker-supplied input to be passed unsanitized to a system command execution function.
- Trigger conditions: An attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request to the device’s web management interface; no authentication or user interaction is required.
- Attack vector: Network — the vulnerable interface is exposed to any party that can reach it, including over the internet if remote management or port-forwarding is enabled.
- Impact: Full compromise of the device with root-level command execution, allowing persistent modification of device configuration and use of the device as a pivot point for further attacks into the local network.
Affected software
- D-Link DAP-1360 — all firmware versions up to and including 6.14
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - (CVSS v4.0 score also published: 9.3, Critical)
Mitigation and recommended actions
- No patch available: The D-Link DAP-1360 reached End of Life/End of Service Life on August 20, 2020. D-Link has confirmed it will not release a firmware fix for this device.
- Immediate action: Retire and replace the DAP-1360 with a currently supported D-Link product or another actively maintained device.
- If immediate replacement is not possible:
- Disable remote/WAN-facing access to the web management interface.
- Restrict access to the management interface to trusted internal networks only, using firewall rules or network segmentation.
- Ensure the device is not directly exposed to the internet.
- Use unique, strong administrative credentials and enable WiFi encryption as general hardening, though these do not fully mitigate this unauthenticated flaw.
- Monitor network traffic to and from the device for anomalous or unexpected administrative requests.
