CVE-2018-25115 is a critical command injection vulnerability affecting multiple D-Link DIR-series routers, including models like DIR-110, DIR-615, and DIR-815, specifically firmware version 1.03. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges due to improper input sanitization in the service.cgi endpoint's EVENT=CHECKFW parameter. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), the vulnerability has a low attack complexity and can lead to full device compromise. While the affected routers are no longer supported, exploitation evidence was observed in August 2025, though no public exploit code or significant community discussion has been identified.
