Overview
A critical vulnerability has been identified in D-Link DI-8100 16.07.26A1 router software. The vulnerability, designated as CVE-2025-7762, has been found to affect the HTTP Request Handler component, specifically the processing of the /menu_nat_more.asp file. If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may compromise the system or lead to significant data leakage. Given that the exploit has been publicly disclosed, it is crucial for users and administrators to understand the implications and take necessary measures to secure their systems.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient boundary checking in the HTTP Request Handler while processing the /menu_nat_more.asp file. This allows attackers to send an overly large, specially crafted HTTP request to overflow the buffer and overwrite the stack, which may lead to arbitrary code execution.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of a malicious HTTP request that could exploit this vulnerability:
GET /menu_nat_more.asp HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-router.com
Content-Type: text/html
{ "menu_item": "A"*1024 }In this example, the “menu_item” parameter is filled with a large number of ‘A’ characters (1024 in this case) to overflow the buffer. An attacker could replace these ‘A’ characters with malicious code to exploit the buffer overflow and gain unauthorized access or control of the system.
