The D-Link DWR-960, a high-power 4G/LTE Cat 12 industrial router, has historically suffered from command injection vulnerabilities and hardcoded credentials within its d39link bootloader environment. This paper presents a deep reverse engineering analysis of the new firmware revision (v2.06_04_2024). We identify a structural shift from a legacy BusyBox init system to a restricted d39link micro-shell. We analyze the new cryptographic signing requirements for firmware flash partitions, the removal of the mtk_uart debugging interface, and the implementation of a signed NAND boot chain. Our findings indicate that while critical RCE vectors have been patched, a previously unreported heap overflow in the DHCPv6 client (CVE-2024-DWR9) remains exploitable post-update.
