CVE-2013-10069 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting dir-600 firmware, dir-300 firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
The web interface of multiple D-Link routers, including DIR-600 rev B (≤2.14b01) and DIR-300 rev B (≤2.13), contains an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in command.php, which improperly handles the cmd POST parameter. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw without authentication to spawn a Telnet service on a specified port, enabling persistent interactive shell access as root.

- Critical severity
- EPSS top 3%: very likely to be exploited
- Public exploit reference
- CISA SSVC: automatable with total technical impact
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
