CVE-2025-50648
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in D-Link DI-8003 16.07.26A1 due to inadequate input validation in the /tggl.asp endpoint.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceBuffer overflow vulnerability in D-Link DI-8003 router firmware version 16.07.26A1 in the /tggl.asp web endpoint due to inadequate input validation. This could allow remote attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted input to the affected endpoint.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm router model is D-Link DI-8003Log into the router web interface and check the device information page, or check the physical device label for the model number DI-8003Affected if The device is not a D-Link DI-8003 router (different models are not affected by this specific CVE)
-
Check firmware version equals 16.07.26A1In the router web interface, navigate to System Status or Device Info page and locate the firmware version field; alternatively, access the router via CLI and run 'show version' or 'cat /proc/version' if availableAffected if Firmware version is exactly 16.07.26A1 (this is the only version listed as affected)
-
Verify web interface is accessibleAttempt to reach the router's IP address via HTTP/HTTPS in a browser (e.g., http://192.168.0.1 or the router's default gateway IP); check if the login page loadsAffected if The web management interface is enabled and reachable - the /tggl.asp endpoint must be accessible for the vulnerability to be exploitable
-
Confirm /tggl.asp endpoint existsNavigate directly to http://<router-ip>/tggl.asp in a browser and observe whether the page loads or returns any response (even an error)Affected if The /tggl.asp page is accessible - this is the specific endpoint where the buffer overflow occurs due to insufficient input validation
You are affected if you have a D-Link DI-8003 router running firmware version 16.07.26A1 with the web interface enabled and the /tggl.asp endpoint accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied firmware patch when available; if no patch exists, restrict administrative interface access to trusted networks only or retire/replace the affected device.
