Device takeover via captive-portal stack overflow
Published Dec 30, 2022 · Updated Apr 11, 2025
Stack buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-755AP 1.13B01 allows remote attackers to take over the device via a crafted network request. The wifi_captive_portal function mishandles an oversized user_edit_page parameter, causing an out-of-bounds overwrite of stack storage. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful exploitation grants access to the device operating system.
