CWE-787Published: October 16, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
Stack Overflow vulnerability in D-Link device DI-7003GV2.D1 v.23.08.25D1 and before, DI-7100G+V2.D1 v.23.08.23D1 and before, DI-7100GV2.D1 v.23.08.23D1, DI-7200G+V2.D1 v.23.08.23D1 and before, DI-7200GV2.E1 v.23.08.23E1 and before, DI-7300G+V2.D1 v.23.08.23D1, and DI-7400G+V2.D1 v.23.08.23D1 and before allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the wanid parameter of the H5/speedlimit.data function.
Risk Analysis
This is a stack overflow vulnerability in the H5/speedlimit.data function of D-Link devices, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The critical 9.8 CVSS score underscores the high risk to device security.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV catalog. It is remotely exploitable.
Users should update their D-Link device firmware to the latest version to mitigate this stack overflow risk.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-45577 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
