Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An issue was discovered on D-Link DIR-816 A2 1.10 B05 devices. An HTTP request parameter is used in command string construction in the handler function of the /goform/form2systime.cgi route. This could lead to command injection via shell metacharacters in the datetime parameter.
