A Mirai botnet is actively exploiting a command injection vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-29635, in discontinued D-Link routers, Akamai reports. The flaw allows attackers to inject commands because an attacker-controlled value is copied without proper validation. The vulnerability impacts firmware versions 240126 and 24082 of D-Link DIR-823X series routers.
The experts observed that exploitation began about a year after public disclosure and PoC release, using crafted POST requests to compromise devices.
