Description
On D-Link DCS-5009 devices with firmware 1.08.11 and earlier, DCS-5010 devices with firmware 1.14.09 and earlier, and DCS-5020L devices with firmware before 1.15.01, command injection in alphapd (binary responsible for running the camera's web server) allows remote authenticated attackers to execute code through sanitized /setSystemAdmin user input in the AdminID field being passed directly to a call to system.
Exploitation
Not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue as of 2026.09.04. That is an absence of confirmed public exploitation, not evidence that exploitation has not occurred. EPSS models a 15.1% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, placing it in the top decile of all scored CVEs.
