Authenticated service crash via wepauth_5g stack overflow
Published Mar 1, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Stack overflow in the Eagle 1200AC 15.03.06.33_en web interface allows remote authenticated users to interrupt router service. The /goform/WifiBasicSet handler writes an overlong wepauth_5g value beyond a stack buffer when processing Wi-Fi settings. Access to the authenticated management interface and a crafted wepauth_5g parameter are required; the documented consequence is a crash, with no supported confidentiality or integrity impact.
