Remote code execution via HNAP buffer overflow
Published Aug 28, 2022 · Updated Dec 9, 2025
Buffer overflow in D-Link Go-RT-AC750 firmware 1.01b03 and 2.00b02 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the web interface. The cgibin hnap_main handler copies attacker-controlled request data into a fixed-size buffer without bounds checking, causing memory corruption. The flaw is reachable without authentication or user interaction and can provide device-level control, including traffic interception or service disruption.
