Root code execution via sys_Token heap overflow
Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Feb 5, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in D-Link DAP-1360 6.14b01 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code as root from the adjacent network. The /cgi-bin/webproc handler copies an overlong var:sys_Token value into a fixed-length heap buffer without validating its length. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access but neither authentication nor user interaction.

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.
- Affected versionversion=0 <=v6.14b01
