CVE-2025-6897
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 vulnerability classified as critical was found in D-Link DI-7300G+ 19.12.25A1. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file httpd_debug.asp. The manipulation of the argument Time leads to os command injection. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
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 · high confidenceD-Link DI-7300G+ router firmware 19.12.25A1 contains a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the httpd_debug.asp web interface. The 'Time' parameter is not properly sanitized before being passed to system shell commands, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with elevated privileges.

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 device modelAccess the router web interface or check the device label to verify the model is D-Link DI-7300G+. This is typically found on the device itself or in the admin panel under Status or System Information.Affected if The device is a D-Link DI-7300G+ router
-
Check installed firmware versionLog into the router admin panel and navigate to Status or System Information page to view the firmware version. Alternatively, check the httpd banner or upgrade page if accessible.Affected if The firmware version is exactly 19.12.25A1
-
Verify httpd_debug.asp is accessibleAttempt to access http://<router-ip>/httpd_debug.asp or http://<router-ip>/asp/httpd_debug.asp in a web browser. Check if the page loads or returns any response.Affected if The httpd_debug.asp page is reachable and responds to requests
-
Check if Time parameter accepts inputSubmit a request to the httpd_debug.asp page with a test value in the Time parameter (e.g., via query string or form submission). Observe whether the input is reflected in the response or processed by the application.Affected if The Time parameter on httpd_debug.asp accepts and processes user input without sanitization
The device is affected if it is a D-Link DI-7300G+ running firmware 19.12.25A1 and the httpd_debug.asp interface with the Time parameter is 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.
dbcve · scopedApply any available vendor firmware update from D-Link. If no patch exists, isolate the device behind a firewall with no external access, or replace the device with a supported model. Validate the fix by testing that command injection payloads in the Time parameter are no longer executed.
- Isolate the affected D-Link DI-7300G+ device from the network to reduce exposure
- Disable remote management interfaces if not absolutely necessary
- If the device is end-of-life (no longer supported by D-Link), replace it with a currently-supported router
- Implement network segmentation to limit the impact of potential compromise
- Monitor for indicators of compromise since the exploit is publicly disclosed
