Technical details
A command injection vulnerability exists in the 'timelycheck' and 'sysconf' binaries of the D-Link DIR-823G router (firmware version DIR823G_V1.0.2B05_20181207.bin). The issue stems from the improper sanitization of fields parsed from the '/tmp/new_qos.rule' configuration file using sscanf(). These unsanitized strings are subsequently concatenated into iptables command strings and executed via the system() function. An attacker who can modify this temporary file—either through local access or by exploiting other vulnerabilities that allow filesystem writes—can achieve arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected binaries. While the CVSS vector suggests a network attack vector with low privileges, the exploit specifically requires the ability to write to the /tmp directory.
