Unauthenticated code execution via unbounded FILECODE copy
Published Feb 10, 2023 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-605L 2.13B01 allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted FILECODE login value. The boa HTTP server passes an arbitrarily long FILECODE value from /goform/formLogin to getAuthCode, where sprintf copies it into stack memory without a length bound. The login handler is reachable without authentication; exploitation can run arbitrary code or crash the router.
