CVE-2022-44373Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unbounded ping parameter

Published Dec 7, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-820AP 1.0R firmware 1.01.B01 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. The boa HTTP server passes an arbitrarily long ipv4_ping value from a POST to /boafrm/formSystemCheck to sprintf, which copies it onto the stack without a length bound. Access to the web management interface and valid login credentials are required; exploitation can also crash the device.
