New Mirai Campaign Targets Vulnerable D-Link Routers

A fresh wave of malware associated with the Mirai botnet is currently exploiting a serious command-injection vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-29635. This flaw is present in the D-Link DIR-823X routers, which are no longer supported by the manufacturer. The campaign aims to compromise these devices, integrating them into a larger botnet for malicious purposes. Security experts have raised alarms as this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands remotely, posing significant risks to users still operating these routers. As many of these devices remain in use despite their end-of-life status, the potential for widespread exploitation is concerning. Users are urged to upgrade their hardware to mitigate risks associated with this vulnerability and to ensure their networks are secure.
