CVE-2020-25368 describes a critical command injection vulnerability within the HNAP1 protocol of D-Link DIR-823G routers running firmware V1.0.2B05. An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands by injecting metacharacters into the PrivateLogin field during a login attempt. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical) due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise potential (C, I, A: High). While no public exploits (Metasploit, ExploitDB) or KEV entries exist, and community discussion is minimal, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 97/100 indicates significant theoretical risk.
