A critical command injection flaw affects the D-Link DIR-868L router on firmware 2.01b05. It sits in the HNAP CGI handler and lets unauthenticated attackers run OS commands over the network by manipulating the SOAPACTION argument. VulDB, the CNA, rates it 10.0 under CVSS 3.1 and 10.0 under CVSS 4.0. A public exploit is on GitHub, and D-Link no longer supports the end-of-life router.

⚐ CORRECTEDWednesday, October 14, 2026 at 6:16 PM EDT

Correction (Oct 14): An earlier version said VulDB rated CVE-2026-110536 9.3 under CVSS 4.0. The CVE record lists 10.0 under both CVSS 3.1 and CVSS 4.0.

→ All corrections
A critical command injection vulnerability, CVE-2026-110536, affects the D-Link DIR-868L router running firmware 2.01b05.
D-Link lists every DIR-868L hardware revision as end of life and no longer releases security updates for it.
Attackers can run OS commands remotely. The flaw sits in the system function of /htdocs/cgibin in the HNAP CGI handler. Manipulating the SOAPACTION argument leads to operating system command injection, and the attack needs no authentication.

    Snipe-IT before 8.6.3: deactivated users can sign back in via Google SSO (CVE-2026-116199)

    A newly published CVE (CVE-2026-116199, assigned by VulnCheck on Oct 25) covers a flaw in Snipe-IT's Google SSO login. Versions before 8.6.3 didn't check whether an account was deactivated, so a former user whose Google account was still active could sign back in with their old permissions, including admin. It only applies when Google SSO is on and usernames are email addresses, and Snipe-IT says default installs aren't affected. The fix shipped in v8.6.3 on June 15, and the latest release is v8.8.3. VulnCheck scores it 9.2 Critical (CVSS 4.0) and 8.1 High (CVSS 3.1), while Snipe-IT's advisory rates it Moderate. It isn't in CISA's KEV catalog, and no public exploit or attacks have been reported.
