Authenticated code execution via unbounded GRE address formatting
Published Jul 6, 2023 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Milesight UR32L v32.3.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request. The vpn_gre_handler_set path passes the remote_virtual_ip JSON string to set_gre, where sprintf writes it into vtysh_command_buffer without a length bound. High-privileged web access is required; the published proof of concept crashes vtysh_ubus, while the CNA records arbitrary code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
