A critical command injection flaw affects the D-Link DIR-868L router on firmware 2.01b05. It sits in the HNAP CGI handler and lets unauthenticated attackers run OS commands over the network by manipulating the SOAPACTION argument. VulDB, the CNA, rates it 10.0 under CVSS 3.1 and 9.3 under CVSS 4.0. A public exploit is on GitHub, and D-Link no longer supports the end-of-life router.

A critical command injection vulnerability, CVE-2026-110536, affects the D-Link DIR-868L router running firmware 2.01b05.
D-Link lists every DIR-868L hardware revision as end of life and no longer releases security updates for it.
Attackers can run OS commands remotely. The flaw sits in the system function of /htdocs/cgibin in the HNAP CGI handler. Manipulating the SOAPACTION argument leads to operating system command injection, and the attack needs no authentication.
